Travel Information

Air Travel
Most airlines are already offering deep discounts, so check with your preferred carrier. Several major airlines fly into Tampa International Airport, a 25-mile direct ride to our start/finish line. Some smaller carriers also serve St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport, about 10 miles from the start/finish line.

Car Rental
We are still in discussions with car rental companies. Once finalized, they will be posted here. Please check back for updated information.

Lodging
In order to provide our runners with the best possible travel arrangements, we have negotiated a discount with:


Hampton Inn
100 E. Bay Drive
Largo, FL 33770
(727) 585-3333
(727) 585-3320 Fax
  • The Hampton Inn is offering a special discounted rate of just $95 (plus taxes) for our athletes
  • Checkout time has been automatically extended to 1:00 p.m. if you're checking out on Sunday after the race
  • This special discounted room rate offer expires on November 30, so book now
  • You must mention "HALFATHON" to receive discounted room rates


The Hampton Inn is just 1.5 miles from the finish line and should be especially appealing to those visitors who will have friends or family dropping you off at the start line and then meeting you at the finish line. You could be relaxing in your room 10 minutes after leaving Taylor Park.

Doubletree Beach Resort (formerly the Hilton)
17120 Gulf Boulevard
North Redington Beach, FL 33708
Call (800) 447-7263 or (727) 391-4000, mention "Half Marathon"
Host Resort located less than 2 miles from the start line.

In addition to offering finisher awards and event overall awards after each race, we will also track each athlete's finishing times and add them together to determine Champions of the Florida Halfathon Challenge.

Athletes accumulate their total finishing time by completing any three of our four halfathons during each season from Halloween through March. Those athletes who complete all four of our halfathons will have their slowest time dropped automatically.

To recognize our fastest and most consistent halfathon athletes, we will offer special overall and age-group rewards based on three halfathons. We will also recognize athletes who complete all four of our halfathons in a special way, yet to be determined.
