If you're waiting to sign up for the Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon...here are the bribes social media girl is willing to consider when it sells out. Please plan ahead as the race is over 50% sold out.

🏴‍☠️Expensive running accessories
I don't need another running watch. I also absolutely need another running watch.
🏴‍☠️Travel to unnecessarily adventurous places
Patagonia? Iceland? Kenya? The Dolomites? Somewhere I can say "take me back" while posting 47 pictures of myself running.
🏴‍☠️A suspiciously large hotel room with a bathtub for 3-5 business days
🏴‍☠️Business-class airfare, I have suffered enough in 17B.
🏴‍☠️A massage that lasts longer than my attention span
🏴‍☠️ Tickets to LA 2028

Please act accordingly.

Pirates... we have them. 🏴‍☠️

ARRGH you ready for the 50th running of the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic?

Come for the PRs. Stay for the finish-line magic. Pretend you’re here for the running, but we all know you’re really here for the pirates.

It’s a whole weekend of miles, medals, mayhem and questionable life choices.

See you at the start line, matey.

What's your race nightmare?

Forgetting your shoes? Port a potty emergency? Missing the start?

How about two left shoes?

in 1994 Phil Hanneck packed two left shoes, borrowed his hotel mates that were two sizes too big then proceeded to break the mens Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K record in 42:35🔥

Want to take a crack at a course record?

The Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon men's record has stood since 2015, when Dathan Ritzenhein ran 1:03:16 — already over a decade into his professional career and a three-time U.S. Olympian by that point.

Think you've got what it takes to chase it down this year?
