When you think of Tampa, you may think of a sprawling business metropolis. But scratch the surface and you’ll find it packs an incredible amount of history, culture, sightseeing and just plain fun into a mid-sized city. From nature and history to restaurants and nightlife, the Tampa Bay 100 can show you what the Tampa Bay is really about.
Tampa’s climate makes for great running all year round, and unsurprisingly, running is popular in the city. This makes for a jam-packed calendar of running events, so it’s almost impossible to miss some kind of race. From the hardcore and serious to the ridiculous and novelty, Tampa is full of running activity.

CREWING:
A "crew" is one or more people, working as a team, who are the runner’s primary source of support and encouragement throughout the race. It is possible to do this crewless by stopping at local joints and gas stations. However, having a crew is highly recommended. The crew can meet you at any point on the course, not only just at aid stations.
Just some simple Rules for your Crew:
1. Support vehicles cannot travel at the speed of the runner, you cannot “pace” while driving. You may also not hand your runner something from a moving vehicle. The crew must leap-frog the runners and always drive at the posted speed limits.
2. Crews must park in legally designated parking areas. Do not park in loading zones, alley ways, or any other location you are not legally permitted.
3. No Loitering, some gas stations and business’ won’t mind if you hangout for a while in the parking lot… some do. Even if you buy something from that place of business, they still might not allow you to just hangout and wait for your runner. If you’re going to wait for an extended period of time, ask permission from the business.
4. If a local park is closed, do not park there during the hours it’s closed. Read the signs when you enter a park and assure you’re not parking there when the park is closed.
5. Runners may only sit inside a crew persons car only if it remains parked. No runner may get into any moving mode of transportation at any time.
6. Vehicles must be parked completely off the road surface whenever they are stopped. Any door of the vehicle must never be opened into the roadway, even momentarily. Again, only park in legally designated areas.
7. Never disrupt traffic. You should never attempt to slow down traffic or cause traffic to halt for your runner.
Essentially, when it comes to the crew, you'll be meeting your runners at various locations throughout the 100 miles! Where you stop is entirely up to you, study the map and see what works best for you and the crew. Runners are responsible for both their own and their crew’s actions; likewise crews are responsible for both their own and their runners' actions. Don’t break the law, plain and simple.
Please be courteous to the volunteers and to the other runners. Also, you and your crews must be courteous and respectful of the neighborhoods you pass through. Do not make excessive noise or congregate in large groups in residential areas, especially at night. Be courteous to other park users, pedestrians, bike riders, and drivers. Try to avoid spreading out across the entire sidewalk or pathway.
You are ambassadors and representatives of your sport.

Pacing and Pacers:
First and foremost, your pacer is a member of your crew and must follow ALL the crew rules to include the rules for the runner (minus wearing the SPOT gps tracker). This also means your pacer(s) must have a LED Blinking Light and reflective gear visible from the front and back when running in the dark. If your pacer is caught WITHOUT this gear on, both the pacer and the runner will be stopped until the pacer has the proper and required gear on.
The Pacer may join the runner AFTER the Courtney Campbell Causeway aid station! Pacer may, and is encouraged to help the runner navigate. Runners over the age of 60, or others needing special assistance, may have a pacer at any time.
Daytime Pacing: Runners may switch pacers at anytime, but you may only have one pacer at a time. No entourages.
Nighttime Pacing: Runners may have up to two pacers at the same time once it gets dark and the sun has gone down.
Pacers are very strongly recommended at night, or after the 70 mile point… especially for first-time 100-mile runners. This is for runner security, to prevent the runner getting lost, and for safety in case a runner becomes ill or disoriented. Two or more registered runners may run the entire race together. Pacers will not be an absolute requirement, but are strongly recommended.
“Muling" i.e., having your pacer carry your water bottle, portable phone charger, & etc for you is allowed for this event.

Runner Rules
1. Do NOT run in the roads. This is not a “road race,” this is a point-to-point 100 mile urban-ultra endurance tour of the Tampa Bay. There will only a few times when there may not be a sidewalk. Please use all designated sidewalks, paths, trails, bike lanes, and areas designated for foot traffic.
2. Stopping Traffic. Do not stop traffic to cross any traffic light controlled crossing. This applies to runners, pacers, and crews. You must wait until the light turns green or it is safe to cross.
3. DO NOT Jaywalk. This is the act of walking (or running) at crossing that has traffic with a designated crossing point.
4. Littering. Follow the Leave No Trace principle. This also includes leftovers from fruits like banana peels and orange rinds. You will pass by trash cans every so often, please use them.
5. This should be obvious, but don’t rent a scooter or bike… that’s clearly not walking or running.
6. Chickens! Leave them alone :) Chickens are allowed to roam freely throughout Ybor City thanks to a city of Tampa ordinance protecting them. These birds are living memorials to the founding and early days of Ybor City.! Leave let them be, please.
7. Take a look at the Mandatory Items, they are mandatory and you are responsible having those items.
8. IF YOU DNF: You MUST CALL OR TEXT ME.
9. When running in the dark (yes, that even means race morning and 100% at night), you MUST wear a vest or similar item with reflective material clearly visible from the front AND back, as well as clearly visible colored blinking LED lights facing front and rear.
> A headlamp DOES NOT COUNT as your LED Blinking Light, while I always recommend a headlamp, you will still have to some form of LED Blinking Light on the front and back of your hydration vest / around your waist if you don’t plan on wearing a hydration vest.
> More on that: You can get DOT Reflective Vests, Belts, Strips that can attached, and even Shirts online in various models.
> Bottomline is, if you’re caught without it at night… you will be stopped and you will stay there until you have it on. If the issue happens more then once, you will be DQ’d.

Rest Rooms and Water
The route will pass by several commercial facilities like gas stations, convenience stores and the like at many points along its length, but there are long stretches where there is no commercial development. There will also be some areas where the population is more sparse, very few facilities stay open all night.
For bathrooms, if using a business' facilities, show support by buying something if possible. If told "No", please be polite.

Aid Stations
Aid Stations: Five Aid Stations! Courtney Campbell, Cooper’s Bayou, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, and Gulfport! One of the Aid Stations, Dunedin, will be operated from the home of a local runner! So, it’s always a blast. Otherwise, it is recommended you have a crew. Other stops can be swinging by local food joints and gas stations! We will have a list of ideal locations!
Indian Rocks Aid Station (formally called the Gulf Blvd AS last year): This one will be at the Gulf Breeze Inn once again! You can book your stay there at; https://www.gulfbreezeinn.com/. They have full kitchens and nice bathrooms. This is a great opportunity to have your crew be able to sleep, eat, and cook right on the course. Or, for you solo runners - a great resource!
Aid Stations will be stocked with Soda, Pickles, Gummy Bears or Worm..idk one of those, Chips, M & Ms, Cookies, Produce, some brand of powder electro's. We will also provide band-aids and women hygiene products in a plastic box at all the Aid Stations.
Supplies Cache: We will have several "supplies caches" hidden in coolers for y'all between the aid stations. You’ll see them on the course map. They will have water bottles, Gatorades, and some snacks and such!
You should still carry your own food, have it crewed for you, or buy it in stores, delis or restaurants you pass along the way. You will also pass by many park drinking fountains if you need extra water. This is part of the urban adventure and fun of an event like this. Keep in mind that many stores may close at night. Aid station staff will check you in, make sure you’re ok, help you with directions if needed and give you encouragement and support. You will still have to be somewhat self-reliant. Please only enter this race if you are prepared for that.

Course Map and Details
Kicking off in the heart of Ybor City, Tampa, you all will be taken on the ultimate tour of Tampa Bay for 100 miles jam packed with the best sights in Tampa, Clearwater, and St Petersburg. The route itself begins with ~20 miles all around downtown Tampa and its surrounding neighborhoods, bringing you all by the best sights in the city such as the Tampa Theatre, Tampa Postcard, Bayshore Blvd, Riverwalk, 100s of murals in The Heights and through the city, Jose Marti Park (owned by Cuba / Cuban land in Ybor), Perry Harvey Park, Davis and Harbour Islands, Hyde Park, and Cypress Point!
From here you will hit our first dedicated aid station on the causeway before you run across beautiful Tampa Bay. Cutting over into Safety Harbor which combines beautiful bay views, a quaint downtown and the legendary Tocobaga Indian Mounds that protect us from hurricanes every year (Yes! Its legend is mostly real!). The route then takes you into Dunedin where there will be plenty of food options for runners and crew members, as well as the point where we pick up the Pinellas Trail briefly. The run then cuts down to the water, into downtown Clearwater, over the bridge into Clearwater beach (and if you timed it right, you’re here in time for a grouper sandwich and sunset). This is also the location for dedicated aid station #2. From here you have a 20 mile straight shot down to St Pete Beach, crossing the stunning sand key bridge and then passing through beach towns such as Madeira Beach, Reddington Shores, Treasure Island and John’s Pass, to name a few. (Note this is also where aid station #3 is).
The last section takes you back over the water and over into Gulfport to pass by the old Casino and cute shops and restaurants throughout this trendy, “hipster”, town (think “keep Gulfport Weird”). From there you will hit the PT again into downtown St Pete, at which point the St Pete portion of the 100-mile tour begins.
If you like murals, sports, piers and beautiful views, you’re definitely going to enjoy downtown St Pete! You will explore everywhere from the Dali Museum down to old Northeast and Coffeepot Bayou, which if you’re not familiar this is essentially St. Pete’s Bayshore. It’s where races of any distance are run (like the St Pete RunFest).
As for murals, you will see hundreds of murals running around downtown St Pete- there’s a reason this town is known on a global scale for their murals. Lastly for sports fans, you will go by the trop, Al Lang Stadium (Home of the Tampa Bay Rowdies), the “Lionheart” Dedication (Grand Prix Race) and even a plaque dedicated to Ondoro Osoro of Kenya. He set the 10-Mile World Record at the 1997 Southtrust Running Festival with a time of 45 Minutes and 37 Seconds.
The last part of the tour takes you down for a loop around the pier and back before ending in Vinoy Park. The pier of course has plenty of history along the way such as history on the many piers that it once was (million dollar pier, inverted pyramid pier)- there’s even a spot where you can still see the original pilons from the million dollar pier. And of course there is a statue of the Benoist plane in honor of Tony Jannus.
Once you leave the Pier Loop... you'll be heading into Vinnoy Park where you end at the 11th Ave Pier near the Beach Volleyball Courts! It's a nice little "beach" at the finish!

A Self Guided Endurance Tour, Not a Race
This event is considered a “Self-Guided Endurance Tour of the Tampa Bay.” As such it is not considered a competitive event but rather a life accomplishment. We will record finish times and award top finishers, but the accomplishment of the runner is in the experience of the run, not how fast you can finish it. The spirit of the event is captured in the journey.
