Overview

Come see Tampa Bay the Healthy Way on our 4 mile casual jog around downtown Tampa and our award winning riverwalk! Runners will pass by a number of historic locations, murals, etc, including the Tampa Theatre, Tampa Postcard Mural, UT, Amalie Arena, Old City Hall and many more. Your tour guide will stop at 4 locations along the route to tell runners all about the history of the stop as well as allowing for photos and a little rest before the next mile/tour stop. Fun anecdotes, a few ghost stories, a few locals only stories and definitely advice on where to eat if you aren't local are also a part of the experience. On foot is always the best way to see a city - running just allows us to see more. So grab your running shoes and let's go see the best parts of downtown Tampa in just over an hour!

    The University of Tampa Campus

    Built in 1891 and once known as the Tampa Bay Hotel by Henry Plant, this is a prime stop along the tour as it's not only beautiful and incredibly unique to the standard architecture anywhere else in Florida, but also packed with history. Runners will explore the gardens of Plant Park while learning about the former hotel as well as the Sticks of Fire monument, also on the campus alongside the river. Your tour guide will give you an extensive history lesson on this time in Tampa and how the hotel, the railroad, cigars and the Spanish American war were all catalysts for the booming city we know today.
