About I Run for Safe Sex 5K/10K

We invite you to join us for the I Run for Safe Sex 5K/10K, a Tampa Bay AIDS Walk Event benefitting EPIC (Empath Partners in Care)! 

Great thing about going virtual is that anyone, anywhere can participate! Run on the beach, in your neighborhood, on your treadmill or just stroll in the park.

Registration includes the official I Run for Safe Sex T-shirt and a commemorative finisher medal (which will be mailed to you 2 - 4 weeks following your registration). 

Even if running isn't your "thing", you can support EPIC by sponsoring an individual, a team or simply by making a donation.
