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).<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t done a Champs Sports run club before, consider this your sign. If you\u2019ve already had the experience, then you probably <a href=\"https:\/\/events.champssports.com\/champsrunclubtampapoweredbynike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">found this registration link<\/a> 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\u2019re out to set a PR or just in for a casual stroll on the waterfront, it\u2019s a party on two feet that welcomes everyone. Plus, you can\u2019t beat free registration.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s the perfect way to say goodbye to winter and welcome the beautiful spring season.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa\u2019s most beloved run club<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"People at an outdoor running event\" class=\"wp-image-327161\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/champs-run-high-five-1024x576.webp.webp\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/champs-run-high-five-1024x576.webp.webp\" alt=\"People at an outdoor running event\" class=\"wp-image-327161\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>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.
