The Education Foundation of Sarasota County is proud to bring back the iconic Education Foundation Ringling Bridge Run! This event will start at The Bay (next to the Sarasota Municipal Center), take you across the beautiful Ringling Bridge, and bring you back to the finish line (right where you started). Along the way, local school drumlines will play to cheer you on! The run supports student and teacher programming, helping students to get ready and go further.
