31st Annual “Ride & Run With The Stars” Event (24-146)

PINELLAS COUNTY - Reminder: Registration for the Ride and Run With the Stars event is open. The 10K Family Bike Ride, 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk/Skate, or 25-Mile Bike Ride is $50. The 5K Chipped race registration is $55. The registration fee includes a long-sleeve dry-fit shirt, food, and giveaways.

Since 1993, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Ride And Run With the Stars event has given hope and help to children and families in need. We have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to meet the needs of thousands of Pinellas County children during the holidays.

On the heels of back-to-back hurricanes, we are looking to assist even more families this year.

Ride and Run With the Stars will be held at Fort De Soto Park on Saturday, December 7, 2024, and is the largest law enforcement-organized holiday charity fundraiser in the Tampa Bay Area. Participants enjoy cycling and walking events as well as a certified 5K road race. With a visit from Santa Claus, food, and children’s activities, there’s fun for the whole family.

Ride and Run With the Stars proceeds benefit the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Christmas Sharing Project, which helps crime victims, children, and families through the holidays. In 2023, the Christmas Sharing Project provided gifts for 220 families and over 600 children in our community.

You can also adopt a family for Christmas by contacting Sandra Garcia-Olivares at 727-582-6465 or sgarcia-olivares@pcsonet.com, by Monday, December 2nd.  Gifts for the adopted families will be due by Thursday, December 12th.
