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.

Clearwater's dazzling natural beauty is well worth celebrating. You can do that by booking your trip on board the Sunset Celebration Cruise. The cruise departs from Clearwater Bay through Clearwater Pass and into the Gulf of Mexico, touring the most beautiful waters surrounding Florida. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the shoreline and sunset while your captain points out some of the many points of interest along the way. The friendly crew will make sure you are comfortable as you enjoy complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks. And, don't miss the special champagne toast at sunset.

Book a romantic getaway at Tampa's Safety Harbor Resort & Spa and get the spa treatment. Indulge in a couple's massage, caviar pedicures and a delectable spa lunch. 

Take aim for a great time at one of Clearwater's most popular amusement centers, Celebration Station. There's something fun for the whole family to enjoy at this incredible attraction. Choose from taking a revved up ride in a go-kart, jolting your senses on a bumper boat, feeling the wind on your face on one of the many carnival rides or sharpening your shooting skills in the laser tag arena.
