When November finally trots around, Clearwater running enthusiasts know that the Times Turkey Trot will soon be getting underway. This is the largest running event in the Tampa Bay, drawing nearly 16,000 participants. This road race is for competitive runners, recreational runners and walkers of all ages. When you pay your entry fee, you'll get a t-shirt. Trophies are awarded to the top finishers and all the proceeds go to help local charities. Additionally, non-perishable food items are collected the day of the race and are donated to a local food pantry.

Get up close to one of nature's most fascinating creatures, the dolphin, when you make arrangements to experience the Dolphin Exploration Cruise. The tour will take you from Clearwater Bay out through Clearwater Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico so that you can get close to the many bottlenose dolphins that make their home out in these waters. You are actually guaranteed to see dolphins on your trip that also includes not only a fascinating narrative full of facts and information from your captain but also "Turtle Story Time" for the kids and complementary beverages for the adults.
