Our favorite run club in Tampa is back, and just in time to kick off the Spring season. Champs Run Club Powered by Nike is taking over The Riverwalk for a free run club and after party on Saturday, February 28, at 8 am, starting and finishing at Armature Works (1910 North Ola Avenue).
If you haven’t done a Champs Sports run club before, consider this your sign. If you’ve already had the experience, then you probably found this registration link and signed up already. The quarterly runs are among our favorite outings in a city packed full of fun, thanks to the great vibes, fun people, and relaxed experience. Whether you’re out to set a PR or just in for a casual stroll on the waterfront, it’s a party on two feet that welcomes everyone. Plus, you can’t beat free registration.
The run club sounds particularly great right now, coming out of this recent cold stretch. Those temperatures are not why we live here. Sunshine and waterfront run clubs, however? That does the trick, and on the final day of February, it’s the perfect way to say goodbye to winter and welcome the beautiful spring season.
Tampa’s most beloved run club
This is the sixth edition of Champs Sports Run Club in Tampa, as thousands of runners have turned out since its inaugural edition in 2024, making it one of the most popular running events in the region. This month’s run is expected to be even bigger, with tons of great perks.
The 3K, Powered by Nike, borders the Riverwalk and laps around the Armature Works property, providing a beautiful backdrop for attendees. Free registration includes a Nike T-shirt (first 150 to arrive); chances to win free goodies (FLX members only); plus recovery amenities and complimentary breakfast and refreshments while supplies last, among much more. Attendees can visit their new Reimagined Brandon Exchange store to see the latest in running shoes before or after the event.
After the run, attendees will be treated to a host of post-run perks at the Armature Works promenade. Highlights include live DJ sets and the chance to win tons of goodies from Champs. Guests can also enjoy complimentary bites and refreshments, free recovery amenities, exclusive prizes for FLX members, and an exciting opportunity to spin the prize wheel.
