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).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t done a Champs Sports 5K run club before, consider this your sign. If you\u2019ve already had the experience, then you probably <a href=\"https:\/\/events.champssports.com\/champsrunclubtampapoweredbyon\/ThatsSoTampa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">found this registration link and signed up already<\/a>. 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019ll take any excuse to get outside and enjoy it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.
