Running Mate Launch Party

Saturday, July 19, 2025
Location: Craft Kafe, 200 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Price: Free

Join Us for the Running Mate Launch in St. Pete!
We're teaming up with Pinellas Run Club to bring Running Mate to St. Pete on Saturday, July 19 — and you're invited!

Come out to Craft Kafe's downtown location (200 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) starting at 7:30 a.m. to meet fellow runners and get ready to hit the streets around 8:00 a.m. After the run, stick around for coffee, community, and a quick self-defense skills session led by Prof. Benny Glossop! Benny is an Ultra Runner with an active run streak of over 5 years and is a Close Protection Specialist, Personal Protection Expert, and former professional fighter. 

We’re proud to be partnering with FL Running Tours, Pet Pal, Friends of Strays, Brooks, Fit2Run, and Craft Kafe to make this a morning you won’t want to miss. Whether you're new to Running Mate or already a fan, this is your chance to run, learn, and connect.

See you there, St. Pete!
