Join us at the Tampa Walkathon & 5K Run!

 

TOGETHER we’re changing the world, one dog and one life at a time.

Bring your family, bring your dogs, bring your friends, and bring your friends' dogs to the Tampa Walkathon at Gadsden Park on March 23, 2024!

This free, family-friendly event includes a 3K walk and a dog-friendly party in the park featuring lively music, delicious food, vendor and sponsor booths, an exciting raffle drawing, and much more.

Walkathon is Southeastern Guide Dogs' largest fundraiser of the year and proceeds help us breed, raise, train, and match our amazing dogs with people with vision loss, veterans with disabilities, and children who need a best friend.

Whether you raise funds for our mission or simply bring your dog to the party in the park, we'll see you at Walkathon!

Program Rules and Requirements

  1. Prep your recyclables

    Items must be:

    • Larger than the size of your fist.
    • Rinsed, empty, and/or dry as appropriate.
    • Only refer to the accepted items listed and do not use the plastic resin number as a guide for recycling. Not all items marketed as recyclable are accepted locally.
  2. Take your recyclables to the cart

    • All items must be free and loose (not bagged). Bagged material will not be recycled. 
    • Do not jam in boxes as they can get stuck and prevent the proper collection of materials.
    • Ensure your cart lid is down to prevent items from getting wet.
  3. Set your cart out for service

    • Unlike garbage, your recycling cart can wait to be full before being placed at the curb for collection service. 
    • Place the cart at the curb with a 3-foot clearance on all sides the night before your designated pickup day, or before 6 a.m. on your pickup day. 
    • Cart must be removed from the curb by end of the service day.
A recycling study will take place this summer and provide education in the form of recycling cart tags.
