Created to encourage people who have made a commitment to a healthy lifestyle as one of their New Year Resolutions, this is a non-competitive walk to help with their motivation, as it will be staged just four weeks into the new year.
The Clearwater 5K Fitness Walkers will enjoy a challenging ascent over the Clearwater Bridge, a pleasant walk along the Clearwater Causeway to the turn-around, and a return trip back over the Clearwater Bridge to Coachman Park.
This Fitness Walk will also serve as a fundraiser for several non-profit organizations to be named at a later date.

This was my first 5k, and I walked in the fitness walk. My friend and I were the last two to finish that walk, and I was very happy to do that. Everything seemed to go well, I was very happy that you had a 5k walk. I just wish that there were more walks and some longer ones to progress to, thanks again for having a walk for those of us that are just starting to get in shape.

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.
