The most popular run club in Tampa Bay is back this August, as the Champs Sports Run Club Powered by Brooks returns to Tampa on Saturday, August 30, at 8 am.

Tampa hosted one of the biggest-ever running events for the nationwide run club last year, and it was such a smash hit that the fun run has returned to town for another jam-packed excursion. Taking place at 8 am on Saturday, August 30, at Armature Works, the next edition of Champs Sports Run Club Tampa is poised to be the biggest one yet.

This is the fourth edition of Champs Sports Run Club in Tampa, after more than 1,400 runners registered for last July’s inaugural 3K, making it one of the most popular running events of the year in the region. This month’s run is expected to be even bigger, with tons of great perks.

The 3K, powered by Brooks, borders the Riverwalk and laps around the Armature Works property, providing a beautiful backdrop for attendees. Free registration includes a Champs Run Club T-shirt (first come, first served); chances to win free goodies (FLX members only); plus recovery amenities and bites and refreshments while supplies last, among much more. Attendees can visit their new Reimagined Brandon Exchange store to see the latest in running shoes before or after the event.
