ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Representatives from the Skyway 10K are scheduled to announce the registration date and event dates for the 3rd Annual Skyway 10K this Thursday at a press briefing at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
The briefing is open to all members of the media and will include statements provided by representatives from the Skyway 10K and the Armed Forces Families Foundation. Following the briefing, representatives will take questions from the media.
Additionally, representatives from the Skyway 10K will present a check for $640,000 to the Armed Forces Families Foundation, representing 100 percent of the race registration fees for the 2019 Skyway 10K. Furthermore, the press briefing will include an informational recap of the 2019 event, and important information including scheduled changes for the 2020 Skyway 10K.
The first major change will be the implementation of a lottery registration process. Last year, the Skyway 10K sold out in less than 20 minutes after registration opened when more than 30,000 online users attempted to register for the 7,500 general admission spots. More details will be provided at the press briefing.
