From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find 10k events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
Dunedin has become famous for their annual Mardi Gras Celebration and this year we are bringing a 5K 10K and 15K on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. to host from HOB Brewing Company at 941 Huntley Avenue, Dunedin, FL 34698, and each course will be run on the fully paved Pinellas Trail in 3 great distances.
Check in opens race day only at 7:45 a.m. at the HOB Brewing Company.
The 10K/15K begin at 8:25 am and the 5K begins at 8:30 a.m. as soon as the longer distances runners have crossed the finish line
Finishers medals for the 2026 are GORGEOUS and substantial...one per registrant in any distance. The 10K is a two loop course and the 15K is a three loop course. This is designed specifically for runners who are training for longer distances or who might be competing in more competitive races this year. Each distance is set to perfection, however, you can turn in at any loop if you’re not feeling up to par. To stay on schedule for our volunteers and law enforcement we ask encourage “runners” only select the 10K or 15K and walkers will be asked to abide by each of the 4 way stops along the course after 2.5 hours.
Top finisher framed awards get handed to the 1st 15 males and 1st 15 females in each distance as they cross the finish line. We also bring additional top finisher awards for youth and seniors so if you had a great day let us know we always have additional top finisher awards but we set this up in a way not to attract too many competitive runners as we share the fully paved Pinellas Trail (with permit and police) in the most desirable city in Florida.
The race is limited to 200 participants and is timed in scored using the electronic RaceSplitter timing system. Times are posted in finish order the afternoon of the race at www.727CanRace.com but they will not be available at the venue as we concentrate on FUN FUN FUN!
An email will be sent by 4 pm the day before the race which includes the most current parking and arrival information that you will need to have a successful morning. If you do not receive this email which includes your assigned bib number and your waiver of release to participate, simply send us an email and we will make sure the information gets to you but please wait until 4 p.m. to make sure it is not in your spam or trash file. It is always important to us that you arrive with all of the information you need for a successful day.
If you are a walker and intend to do the longer distances, please see Suzanne prior to your race, as there is a time we let volunteers and police leave the course, at which time we abide by all four way stop signs along the Pinellas Trail. Each course starts from HOB Brewing Company and heads north out and back. It is completely flat and fully paved run course, stroller and dog friendly
This is such a great venue and you're welcome to pack a cooler and enjoy the day with friends and family. IT'S DUNEDIN AND THAT EQUALS FUN FOR ALL.
The run caters to laid back runners and walkers who LOVE THEMED fundraiser events and want to safely run together in fun and celebration.

If you have your child racing in the kid's dash, you must register them in that category in order for them to receive their specific finishers medal however, the kids run does not include a promotional t shirt and it is priced appropriately.
Parking is free downtown and participants are encouraged to park in the Artisan parking garage. We will have a bag check open from check in time until noon on race day at HOB Brewing Company.
