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.

All in-person courses are out-and-back routes along the Causeway, with Tampa Bay alongside the trail for most of the run.

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.
