2017 Gasparilla Distance Classic Run Walk Events Details Tampa FL

When it comes to the Gasparilla season of events, first things first: the pirates needed to invade Tampa in late January.  Next, the parties began to happen downtown.

But then once the dust settles, you have the chance to catch some exercise before the next wave of events occurs, like Gasparilla’s music and movie festivals in March of 2017.  So in that sweet spot there’s an opportunity to run for fitness or for fun at the 2017 Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic, with six different racing events like Half Marathon, 15K, 8K, and three 5K-related events.  Read on for event dates and times, as well as details on how to register.  Plus, don’t forget that cash purses go to the winners – so if you’re ready to win it, you can make a little money besides.

Bowling Alleys Tampa Clearwater St. Petersburg FL 

To some, bowling is a religion, filled with metaphors about how life is filled with strikes and spares, and you merely need to pick them up to succeed, just like you would pick yourself up to succeed in a non-bowling sense.

To others, bowling is a fun sport that has been lovingly portrayed in movies like “The Big Lebowski” and “Kingpin,” which spurs them into giving the sport a try.  It’s hard not to see the glory of slackerdom as Jeff Bridges and John Goodman roll their way into the semis in “Lebowski.”

To yet another group, bowling is a sport which is readily available but not always played, which is why we’re here to remove the veil and show you where this wonderful leisure activity is available with our list of bowling alleys in the Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg FL area.
