    We are unable to mail drawstring bags or awards. A friend or family member may collect your packet during the scheduled packet pick up windows or award during the awards ceremony.

    Safety & Weather Guidelines:

    NO dogs, bicycles, roller skates, or in-line skates will be allowed on the course. The use of headphones is discouraged and strollers need to stay at the back of the race.

    The Unite to Run 5k is held in rain or shine as long as conditions are safe. Weather forecasts will be monitored by race officials. Lightning in the area will delay the race or possibly cancel it. Less threatening conditions may alter the course or post-event activities.

    Heat advisory: Florida is prone to warm weather and high humidity. Stay well hydrated before race day with water and electrolytes. Choose light clothing for race day and breathable headwear. If not heat acclimated, or if prone to heat illness and sensitive to warm conditions, be conservative with your race pace. Slow down if any signs of heat illness occur (nausea, dizziness, or lightheadedness).

    Transfer & Refund Policy:

    The race is nonrefundable.

    If unable to attend, please undergo an online registration transfer through your Run SignUp profile. Bibs may be virtually transferred until the Tuesday before the race. Bib switching in-person under any circumstances is not allowed as this fosters inaccurate race results, person identification, and awardees.

    EVENT HISTORY:

    The Norwegian Foot March was first held in 1915 as a test of marching endurance for soldiers in the Norwegian Army. The original intent of the march was to ensure the Army could quickly move large numbers of soldiers with their essential gear and weapons over long distances and remain combat-ready at their objective. Today, the march is still practiced by the Norwegian military but also used to promote long distance hiking and physical fitness among Norway’s allies and many civilian populations.

    STANDARD / ESSENTIAL MARCH REQUIREMENTS:

    The Norwegian Foot March is a challenging event requiring participants to complete a 30-kilometer (18.6-mile) ruck march while carrying a rucksack with a dry weight of at least 25 pounds within the established time standard. Rucksack weight will be verified before the start of the event and after crossing the finish line.

    55 – 59 5h50m 5h0m

    60+ 6h0m 5h15m

    ATTIRE REQUIREMENTS:

    Military participants must wear their service’s combat uniform and boots for the entire duration of the march. Modifications to uniform standards are allowed if they adhere to service regulations and are approved by the organizer. Headgear is not required for the march. Civilian participants must wear clothing similar to a military combat uniform, including long pants and boots. Civilians may use a civilian hiking backpack to meet the rucksack requirement. Weighted vests, body armor, or weight-plate carriers are not authorized toward the weight requirement.

    CERTIFICATES AND BADGES:

    Participants who successfully complete the march will receive a certificate from the Norwegian Embassy and a pin signifying their achievement. Badges are awarded as follows:

    Bronze Pin: First completed march

    Silver Pin: Second through fourth march

    Gold Pin: Fifth or more march

    The Dogs Inc's MacDill's Paws for Heroes 5k promises to be a fun event. It features chip timing on an accurate, but not certified 5k course in a scenic Tampa (Gadsden) park. Runners (and virtual runners) will receive both a shirt and finisher's medal.

    The cost to provide a guide dog for a veteran with a visual impairment or a service dog for a veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder is tens of thousands of dollars, yet veterans receive these extraordinary dogs at no cost. All funds raised will benefit the Paws for Patriots (https://dogsinc.org/get-a-dog/) Program. On behalf of American heroes who have sacrificed so much, this program serves active-duty soldiers and retired servicemen and women with the respect and dignity they deserve.

    NOTE: Please register by 29 March 2026 to be guaranteed a race shirt.

    FAQs

    1. What if the race gets canceled because of weather or another uncontrollable event? In the event that we are unable to conduct the event live, everyone will be converted to a virtual runner and we'll distribute your finisher medal and shirts.

    2. Can I register the morning of the race? No. The city doesn't allow sales in the park so there will be no race day registration.

    3. When is packet pickup? We will have packet pickup on-site at Gadsden Park on race morning beginning at 7 AM.

    4. Can I run/walk with my dog? If you will be participating with your service dog, yes! Other dogs will not be allowed on the course due to our insurance requirements.

    5. Is there a finisher's medal? Yes, all participants receive both a race shirt and a finisher's medal.

    6. Are there age group awards? Yes, awards will be given to 1st through 3rd in ten-year age groups.

    7. How does the virtual run work? It is done on an honor system. You can run your 5k at any time and don't have to report your finish. We'll send out your shirt and finisher's medal the week after the race.

    8. What is the race course? The race course is about two and a half loops at Gadsden Park. You can preview the route at https://youtu.be/Ggi-WpyOXj4. We'll provide a course map in race day emails and have copies available for viewing during packet pickup.

    Registration fees apply

    All registered participants will receive a complimentary “Stay & Play” ticket to Adventure Island (valid on race day only). Please do not add a 'Stay & Play' ticket for registered race participants. Additional Adventure Island Stay & Play tickets available for purchase during registration at a discounted price ($42). Sales for these tickets will close at 11:59 PM on Friday, May 8.

    Registration fee also includes a participant t-shirt, a finisher’s medal, and other 'swag bag' items.

    In an effort to allow for more participants, we have moved away from two separate age divisions to a three-wave format. The three waves will be categorized by age range so that participants are still competing alongside others in their age group. Also, as a reminder, there will no longer be a post-race trophy ceremony. The Tampa Bay Kids Triathlon is a FUN-raising event with a focus on fun, finishing and fundraising. In recent years, the trophy ceremony has overshadowed our mission of creating an unintimidating and exciting experience for all while helping spread Gavin Lambert’s “finisher’s spirit” and supporting Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), our race beneficiary. All funds traditionally allocated to trophies will be repurposed and included in the overall charitable donation to FARA.
