🎉 Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run 🎉
Sunday, June 21 | Lowry Park – Tampa, FL
The 5K Starts at 9:15 AM
The Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run honors the legacy of Juneteenth, promotes community health, and supports the fight against type 2 diabetes, while bringing people together for an uplifting, family-friendly experience.
Last year, nearly 400 participants showed up and showed out. The energy was real. The community was strong. If you missed it, this is your year—sign up soon.
Join us on Sunday, June 21 at Lowry Park in Tampa, just across from ZooTampa, for the third annual Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run, and our first year at this exciting new venue.
The refreshed 5K course introduces a few fun challenges and a scenic stretch that drops down alongside the Hillsborough River—a beautiful view you’ll remember long after you cross the finish line.
The event is free and open to everyone—runners, walkers, families, and teams of all ages and abilities.
Expect a vibrant celebration of movement, culture, and community, including:
🎶 Music that keeps the energy high
🥗 Nutritious food options
🤝 Community partners and local organizations
🎈 A vibrant Kidz Zone, anchored by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers activation team
💚 Opportunities to connect, learn, and take action for better health
💚 Support Fit Futures
While registration is free, this event fuels something bigger.
Fit Futures is our youth initiative designed to get kids moving through a Run Club, provide running shoes when needed, and give young people opportunities to participate in races across Tampa Bay—so healthy habits start early and confidence grows with every step.
When you register, you’ll have the option to purchase the custom commemorative bib, the official event tee, or both before completing your registration. Proceeds from these items help us expand Fit Futures and reach more students.
You’ll also have the opportunity to make a donation to help support the program and the young people it serves.
