Our favorite run club in Tampa is back, and just in time to kick off the fall season and cooler temps. Champs Run Club Powered by On is taking over The Riverwalk for a free run club and after-party this Thursday, October 22, at 6 pm, starting and finishing at Armature Works (1910 North Ola Avenue).
If you haven’t done a Champs Sports 5K 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.
After a long summer and a little too much rain, this is the perfect way to get outdoors on the first week of the fall with temps in the 70s. This is the time of year we live for around here, and we’ll take any excuse to get outside and enjoy it.
This is the eighth 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 5K, Powered by On, borders the Riverwalk and laps around the Armature Works property, providing a beautiful backdrop for attendees. Free registration includes a Champs Sports Run Club 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.
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.
Plus, you’ll have the chance to experience On’s latest running styles. Try out the newest innovations, feel the difference firsthand, and shop your favorites afterward at your local Champs Sports Store or ChampsSports.com
