Champs Sports Run Club returns to Tampa this Saturday and kicks off biggest national tour yet

One of the best – and biggest – run clubs Tampa has ever seen is making its grand return to the Riverwalk. The Champs Sports Run Club powered by ASICS, which made its debut last summer, is returning for a casual Valentine’s Day Weekend run that is sure to be one of the season’s most popular events.

The free run club event takes place on Saturday, February 15 at 7:30 am outside of Armature Works (1910 N Ola Ave). More than 1,400 runners registered for last July’s 5K, and this year’s event is expected to be even bigger, with tons of great perks. The Champs Sports Run Club is completely free for participants, and those interested can register here.

The 3.1-mile run borders the Riverwalk and laps around the Armature Works property, providing a beautiful backdrop for attendees. After the run, attendees will be treated to a host of post-run perks at the Armature Works promenade. Highlights include live DJ sets, a Stretch Lab Recovery Lounge, and the chance to win one of four $250 Champs Sports gift cards. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary breakfast courtesy of Graze, cool-down massages, and exclusive prizes for FLX members, including an exciting opportunity to spin the prize wheel.

This February’s run in Tampa is the official kickoff of the Champs Sports Run Club 2025 nationwide tour. They don’t call us Champa Bay for nothin’.
