Florida State Fair To Host Deep Fried Dash 5K

TAMPA, FL — The Florida State Fair has announced its second annual Deep Fried Dash 5K presented by Sleep Number.

Beginning at 7 a.m., Saturday, May 1, the race will take participants through the 117th annual Florida State Fair, 4800 U.S. 301, Tampa. Runners will tour all the fair has to offer, from the rides to the smells of fresh fair foods. For those who wish to stay socially distant, there will be a virtual race from April 1 to April 30.

All proceeds from the Deep Fried Dash will benefit the Florida State Fair Foundation, a nonprofit that works to improve and support agricultural, scientific and educational programs at the Florida State Fair like Cracker Country Living History Museum and Ag-Venture.
