This event is a part of Good to Be Green Months at The Bay (March & April)
The Education Foundation of Sarasota County is proud to host the third annual Ringling Bridge Run — a community tradition across the iconic Ringling Bridge. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or bringing the whole family for the fun run, there’s something for everyone. Participants can choose from the 5K, 10K, or family fun run. Proceeds benefit the Education Foundation of Sarasota County, a nonprofit that supports public school teachers and students in Sarasota County with programs that prepare students to get ready and go further.
Your 5k/10k registration fee includes a shirt and a finisher medal. Walkers and strollers are welcome but we kindly ask that you start and stay behind the runners for safety reasons.
The race starts at The Bay
10K Start Time: 7:00 am
5K Start Time: 7:30 am
Family Fun Run Start Time: 8:00 am
Ringling Bridge Traffic: Throughout the race, traffic will flow in both directions. Between 6-10am, the east-bound side of the bridge will be open for two-way traffic and the west-bound side will be closed to provide safe crossing for race participants, guided by the Sarasota Police Department.
