Current Race UPDATES

Thank you for supporting the Kiwanis Midnight Run!  We hope you enjoyed your run!

The bad weather stayed to the north.  Only the woof walk was affected by a very light rain that actually felt good.  Many thanks to Paws and Claws Animal Hospital for sponsoring our inaugural Woof Walk.  The fur babies were well behaved and enjoyed their walk on the Causeway.   

My apologies for the delay in posting the race results.  But the problem has been fixed and both 5K and 10K times are available to view.

Thank you to PJGreenMedia.com for the pictures that he posted on our site.  You all looked good!

I am doing a little survey for our 5K and 10K runners.  Would you prefer the 10K to start at 11:30 pm and the 5K start at midnight?   I will be sending out a survey as well in an email.  I would appreciate a reply.  Thank you.

Description

We hope that you will continue to join us in the spirit of supporting the children in our local communities. We will have the LIVE or VIRTUAL choice in 1 Mile, 5K and 10K options.   Register before June 1, 2024 to be guaranteed a commemorative tee shirt.

We have added a new fun event for our fur dog babies and their owners.  The Woof Walk will start at 10:15 pm on July 3, 2024.  Receive matching bandanas.

The live races will start and finish in front of Frenchy's Outpost Bar and Grill, 466 Causeway Blvd.  Pre-registration and Race night registration will begin at 9:30 pm.

The live runs are on Dunedin Causeway.  The 10K run turns around in Honeymoon Island.  The course will have lanterns and directional signs, but we recommend that you bring a head light to improve your visibility for the bridges.  Bug spray is also suggested.  Honeymoon Island is a beautiful natural park. 

In case of another pandemic situation, you will have the option of going virtual OR defer your registration to July 3, 2025.  Sorry no refunds.

For our virtual runners, the date for the virtual runs is Wednesday, July 3 for the entire day.  You can run any day before July 3rd, but it confuses the live runners to see an earlier date.  We are not using Race Joy this year.  If you want your time recorded on the site, you will be able to manually submit your time under participant registration.   https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/67975#resultSetId-200062;perpage:10

You will still be able to pick up your packet.  See Packet Pick up information.
