About the 36th Annual Say No To Drugs SPRING Classic 5K, 10K & 1 Mile Kids Race
The course runs out and back from Sand Key Park, right on Clearwater Beach. The surroundings are what you'd expect from a beach park: open, flat, and close to the water. The kids race stays inside the park itself. Post-race, there are pancakes made from scratch and a raffle expo on the grounds.
Packet pickup runs at two local sporting goods stores in the days before the race, both offering in-store discounts while you collect your bib. Bring a photo ID, and if you are grabbing packets for others, have their IDs ready on your phone.
