Road Closure Notice: The northbound lanes of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (I-275) will close beginning at 3:30 AM ET on race morning and will reopen promptly at 11:00 AM ET. The southbound lanes will remain open to traffic throughout the event.
Getting To The Start Line
All participants MUST use race-provided shuttles to access the start line which will load at Tropicana Field Parking Lot 7.

A Cupless Course
The SunSky 10K is a cupless event.
There will be three water stations located approximately every 1.5 miles along the course, but disposable cups will not be provided.
All participants should bring their own hydration vessel, such as a:
- Handheld water bottle
- Hydration belt
- Collapsible cup
- Hydration vest
Water stations will be available for participants to refill as they make their way across the bridge.
Please arrive at the start line with your hydration vessel ready to go.
Overall Awards
Overall awards will be determined by gun time, not chip time.
Because overall awards are based on gun time, participants competing for an overall award must start with the first wave of runners.
Age group results and other award categories will be determined according to the official SunSky 10K awards policy.
