Event
The Tampa Bay 100 is a point-to-point urban ultramarathon of 100 miles held on November 8, 2025 in the Tampa Bay area, hosted by Skunk Ape Events. The route begins in Ybor City, Tampa, and finishes near the 11th Ave Pier at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg. The course is described as mostly flat with some bridges, showing an approximate elevation gain of 1,165 feet and an elevation loss of about 1,218 feet. The overall cutoff to be an official finisher is 36.5 hours; there are also hard cutoffs at Dunedin (reach by the 19th hour) and Gulfport (reach by the 29th hour).
Course and support
The route travels through Tampa, Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Clearwater, Gulf Boulevard towns, and St. Petersburg. Along the way runners pass murals, public artworks, monuments, parks, piers, beaches, bridges, and historic neighborhoods. Navigation uses directional cards and the CalTopo app; runners may briefly leave the course for stores or facilities but must return to the point they left by foot.
Support includes five staffed aid stations at Courtney Campbell, Cooper’s Bayou, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, and Gulfport, plus several supplies caches on the course. Aid stations will offer drinks, snacks, basic first-aid items, and hygiene supplies. Drop bags are allowed at Dunedin (between about 50 and 60 miles) and Gulfport (around 80 miles). Mandatory items carried by runners include a cell phone, the direction sheet, at least one water bottle (minimum 20 oz), a headlamp with extra batteries, reflective gear and blinking lights for night running, and the CalTopo app. Crews and pacers must follow event parking and safety rules; pacers may join after the Courtney Campbell Causeway and have additional night-visibility requirements.
