The Veterans Run starts and finishes at Ben T. Davis Park in Tampa, using the paved trail on the south side of the Courtney Campbell Causeway for all distances. Runners may select a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or 15.5-mile race; the 5K and half marathon also offer virtual participation. The event focuses on honoring and supporting America’s veterans, with certified timing for all in-person distances, accommodating both those seeking a personal best and those participating for the cause. All in-person courses are out-and-back routes along the Causeway, with Tampa Bay alongside the trail for most of the run. The longer races include the route’s notable Florida feature: a climb to a locally high point offering an overlook across the bay. Only the 15.5-mile race covers the Causeway’s full length. The race resumed after a two-year hiatus due to hurricane damage and city restrictions. The setup includes aid stations with water and electrolyte drinks, plus additional nutrition for half marathon and 15.5-mile runners.

Participants who finish receive a long-sleeve tech shirt, with size guarantees for early registrants. Volunteers also contribute to the event. Proceeds benefit the Rotary Club of New Tampa Foundation and the AdventHealth Wesley Chapel Foundation, providing the race with a local charitable mission beyond the holiday run.
