COMPETE | 2022 PRIDE RUN ST. PETE SPECIAL EDITION

WELCOME

October 9, 2022 Hello Fellow Runners & Walkers,, It is a time for celebration in the welcoming city of St. Pete and we are looking forward to seeing you at the second annual Pride Run St. Pete 5K. I am Dan Shabra, the Race Director for Pride Run St. Pete. Thank you for participating in this year’s event, a part of RaceLookup’s Pride Run Series.

This series promotes a fun, inclusive atmosphere where people can come together in an environment that recognizes and supports #IDEA; inclusion, diversity, equality/equity, and acceptance, where everyone’s welcome. And this year, we are proud to partner with Come Out St. Pete as our designated charity.

Make sure to stick around after your run or walk for the Pride Run St. Pete Celebration Party and Health & Wellness expo. We have an incredible lineup, including presentations from the Royal Court and the former trans/drag queen hosting the Pride Run St. Pete drag shows.

While enjoying the festivities, race participants 21 years of age and older also can treat themselves to a complimentary beer provided by Flying Embers.

Please take a moment to read through the details contained within this Pride Run Guide. It is full of information about Pride Run St. Pete. It includes information on many of our business supporters, sponsors, partners, and exhibitors you’ll want to know and patronize. You’ll even find special offers.

We could not execute on race day without the help of our race crew volunteers, so please help us thank them. We also want to thank the City of St. Petersburg for recognizing the importance of Pride Run St. Pete to its community and supporting IDEA for all individuals.

We appreciate all that the city has done to help make this a fun and safe event for everyone to enjoy.

It enriches us being here celebrating with you and we wish you a fantastic day out at Pride Run St. Pete.

We will see you at the finish line with your finisher medal in hand, ready to congratulate you on your accomplishment!

Best Regards,

DAN SHABRA Race Director • RaceLookup

THREE THINGS TO DO IN ST. PETE

#1 |

VISIT THE ST. PETE PIER DISTRICT

Experience the new $92 million St. Pete Pier District on the city’s beautiful bayfront and you’ll find a green space unlike any other, including several waterfront restaurants (with plenty of outdoor dining), interactive areas for families, a nature center (Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center), a bayfront beach, a marketplace with local artisans, amazing public art and more. Even better – much of it is free. Bring the family, plan a date night or enjoy a sunset cocktail at Pier Teaki overlooking downtown.

#2 | MUSEUM HOP

Not only does St. Pete have award winning beaches, there are also world-famous museums to discover on those days you’re looking for a dose of art and culture.

One “can’t-miss” stop is the brand-new Museum of the American Arts & Crafts Movement. The Dali Museum is home to the world’s largest collection of Salvador Dali’s work outside of Spain; the Chihuly Collection at the Morean Arts Center, features unique sculptures by legendary glass artist Dale Chihuly; and the James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art, will transport you through the rich and diverse heritage of the American West. With dozens of museums and art galleries from which to choose, you’ll never run short of inspiration in St. Pete!
