The iconic Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge spans lower Tampa Bay along Interstate 275 and brings together Pinellas, Manatee, and Hillsborough Counties. This bridge will once again be showcased as it hosts the inaugural SunSky 10K: a 6.2 mile race across the bay along the Northbound lanes of I-275.
Runners and walkers will cross the Sunshine Skyway Bridge at over 200 feet above sea level for an unparalleled view and race experience. FRESHJUNKIE Racing is excited to bring a new race and a new look back to the Skyway Bridge, the City of St. Petersburg, and the State of Florida. The race will be limited to 8,000 participants on a first come, first serve basis. Registration details will be announced in the fall of 2026.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
