About the race
The 49th Annual Sandy Claws Beach Run takes place at Siesta Beach Park in Sarasota, Florida. This popular event features a chip-timed 5K run on the hard-packed, world-renowned Siesta Beach sand, sanctioned by the Manasota Track Club. It offers separate 5K races for adults (18 and up) and youth (17 and under), as well as a 1-mile fun run/walk open to all ages.
Participants enjoy finisher medals, custom awards for top finishers, music, food, raffle prizes, and a holiday-themed costume contest.
