One of Sarasota’s best attributes is a quickly growing fitness and exercise scene. Every Tuesday night during June, July, and August, hundreds of athletes of various abilities gather at world-famous Siesta Key beach for run course that changes every week. Sometimes the run is a simple 5k, while last night’s run was an adventure race which had hills, obstacles, and finally a potato sack hop just before the finish.

The runs are generously hosted by the Manasota Track Club and start at 7pm. There is also a 1 mile kids fun run that starts at 6:30pm. For those who want even more of a workout, there is a large group that meets at 6pm for a group open water swim before the run. What makes this event so special are the people - by attending you will make many friends and get to see what makes Sarasota have such a special community.
