About the Creatures of the Bay 5K
This Halloween-themed race runs out and back along the Pinellas Trail, starting and finishing at a local brewery. The trail keeps things straightforward underfoot, and the costume-heavy crowd gives it more of a Halloween party atmosphere than a typical morning run.
The brewery is the hub before and after. A vendor village is set up on site, and there is a free drink waiting at the finish. Costume judging happens post-race across several categories, including best group, best duo, and best costume pairing between a human and a dog.
