Happy Global Running Day, St. Pete! With an average of 361 sunshine days, give or take a day from last year😅, we’re the perfect city for a spectacular runcation. When you run the Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital St. Pete Pier Run on July 4 or St. Pete Run Fest on the weekend of Nov 13-15, you’ll be running along some pretty interesting facts:
● Known as the “Sunshine City”, St. Pete had an infamous 768-day sunshine streak that started in 1967
● The Dalí Museum houses the largest collection of Salvador Dalí’s works outside of Europe
● The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, known for it’s signature pink facade, was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on September 11, 1978
● The 26-acre St Pete Pier won the prestigious Urban Land Institute (ULI) Global Awards for Excellence in 2022
● The Central Arts District on Central Avenue is the birthplace of the city’s modern art movement
We hope you enjoy your Global Running Day outing in the best city in the nation!
