Chase the Dreidel 5K

Don’t let the Dreidel get away!

Our life-sized dreidel spins down the streets of St. Pete and the Pinellas Trail on a chip-timed, police-monitored course.  Walkers, strollers, runners – all are welcome! 

Chase the Dreidel 5K is the only race of its kind: a family-friendly start time of 4pm, t-shirt, fun run for youngsters, free off-street parking, swag bag, custom-designed race medal and – best of all – registration includes our famous all-you-can-eat potato pancake latke supper!

No bicycles or pets, please!
