Tidewell Foundation Announces 5K and 1-Mile Run

August 18, 2021 – Sarasota

The Tidewell Foundation is pleased to announce the 2021 Tidewell Trot 5K and 1-Mile Run/Walk, presented by Alltrust Insurance. Sponsorship opportunities are currently available for the event, which will benefit the Tidewell Foundation. The event is scheduled to take place Thursday, Oct. 21 at Nathan Benderson Park.

More than 800 local runners and walkers are expected to participate in the 2021 Tidewell Trot. Proceeds will benefit the Tidewell Foundation in its grants to Tidewell Hospice for charity care, grief support services, specialized veterans care, music therapy, telehealth and more for more than 10,000 people in our region annually — all at no cost to them. 

“We’re looking forward to gathering together at Nathan Benderson Park for a healthy and fun event that will help the Tidewell Foundation support the programs of Tidewell Hospice, the region’s only not-for-profit hospice,” said Tidewell Foundation President Debbie Mason. “We’re grateful for Alltrust Insurance’s support as our title sponsor. The Tidewell Trot is an excellent way for local businesses to reach a great audience, while supporting Tidewell.”
