Cupcake Crawl
About this race
We all Love Birthdays and Cupcakes, but what if you did not have a chance to Celebrate your Birthday or even worse, no one recognized you with even a Happy Birthday greeting on your special day? That is the reality for many of the foster children and children in need that we serve. Celebrate Birthdays is a 501c3 Charity Non-Profit organization whose mission is to ensure that every foster child and all children, regardless of personal or financial circumstances, has the opportunity to Celebrate their Birthday and receive a present! We need your support to help continue celebrating the increased number of children every month!
Our 4th Annual Cupcake Crawl is an exciting 5K chip timed run and a shorter Cup1K Dash, which will be held at Al Lopez Park in Tampa FL!
Cupcake Crawl registered participants will receive a shirt (Shirt guaranteed if pre-registered before August 1, 2026, After that, shirts will be available while supplies last. Note: some sizes will not be available close to and on race day. So don't wait to register!) and all participants will receive a custom bib!
All finishers for the 5k will receive a Medal and all participants for the 5k and Cup1K will receive a Cupcake Voucher from Sugar Darlings Cupcakes!
Awards: There will be special recognition for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Overall Male and Female in the 5k. The 5K will be chip timed. Age groups awards for the 5k only will be 5 year age groups (9 & Under, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+) The 1K Dash will be more of a Fun Run for kids!
