PINELLAS COUNTY - Since 1993, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Ride & Run With The Stars event has given hope and help to children and families in need. We have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to meet the needs of thousands of Pinellas County children and families during the holidays.

This year’s Ride & Run With The Stars will be held at Fort De Soto Park on Saturday, December 7, 2024, and is the largest law enforcement-organized holiday charity fundraiser in the Tampa Bay Area. Participants enjoy cycling and walking events as well as a certified 5K road race. With a visit from Santa Claus, food, and children’s activities, there’s fun for the whole family.

Early bird registration is now open and ends November 1, 2024. The 10K Family Bike Ride, 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk/Skate, or 25-Mile Bike Ride is $40. The 5K Chipped race early registration is $45. The registration fee includes a long-sleeve dry-fit shirt, food, and giveaways.

Ride & Run With The Stars proceeds benefit the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Christmas Sharing Project, which helps crime victims, children, and families through the holidays. In 2023, the Christmas Sharing Project provided gifts, food, and clothing for 229 families and 604 children in our community.
