Make the sun shine bright for individuals with disabilities!

Join Team Friendship as we take on Florida for our biggest flagship marathon event yet.

You’ll experience an incredible all-inclusive weekend celebrating the impact you’re having on people with disabilities, followed by the Clearwater Marathon & Running Festival!

Just 22 miles from Tampa, you'll pass spectacular views of the Gulf, the Inner Coastal, and the city.
Clearwater Beach, named the nation's #1 beach by Trip Advisor, dazzles with impeccable beaches and inviting water, offering the perfect backdrop for your run. With finisher medals, post-race refreshments, and age group awards, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience.

"It is an incredible feeling to know that Team Friendship makes a difference in the lives of so many. I also think that Team Friendship gives its participants a gift, too. The weekend brings together people accepting of all, regardless of background and abilities. It is an unforgettable weekend."
