Join the Gasparilla Distance Classic Association and Sneakers4Good as we chart a new course in sustainability – drop off your gently worn running shoes and help give them a second life while supporting global communities in need. Sneakers4Good has rescued millions of pairs of athletic shoes from landfills and redirected them into micro-enterprises in developing countries, reducing waste and empowering people. Request your free drop-off bag ahead of the event and let your “old” kicks help someone make strides!

Donation boxes will also be available during the 2026 Tampa Bay 28 Health & Fitness Expo presented by TampaWell. This simple action helps reduce environmental impact while providing opportunities across the globe.
