Gopher Weedon Trail Run

The Friends of Weedon Island present the Annual Gopher Weedon Trail Run at the Weedon Island Preserve in St. Petersburg. The event treats participants to natural trails through Florida's native habitats and scenic views of Tampa Bay. This unique event allows runners to journey past mangroves, salt marshes, and historical sites while benefiting from professional timing. Proceeds support environmental preservation and education efforts. Participants receive a technical T-shirt, professional race timings, awards, refreshments, and access to cultural activities at the Cultural and Natural History Center. The run encourages exploration of the preserve, though pets and race-day registration are unavailable.
