Run for Dreams at the Ultra Block Party! — $65
Matter of Fact Run Club and Green Bench Brewing are teaming up to host a truly unforgettable day of endurance, energy, and impact. The Ultra Block Party is a unique 12-hour race concept where relay race meets a backyard ultra.
Date: Saturday, January 31, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM–8:00 PM
Location: Baum Ave Block at Green Bench Brewing Co.
We hear ya…a 12 hour race might sound a little daunting. The best part about this race is that you can form teams of 1-12 people and split up the 12 hours of running however you want. Why do we love that? It gives each team the flexibility to make it as hard or as easy as you would like. Want to run 12 hours straight by yourself? That’s incredible, maybe a little crazy, but incredible. Want to grab a group of friends and divvy up the 12 hours? That’s incredible too!
St Pete has an incredible running community and we believe this event will cater to everyone regardless of where you’re at in your running journey.

Running for a Dream
To make this even better, we’ve teamed up with the Children’s Dream Fund, a local non-profit, to make the Ultra Block Party a fundraiser supporting children in need. The Children’s Dream Fund has been granting dreams to local children in our community facing life-threatening illnesses since 1981. From meeting their heroes and exploring new places, to unforgettable family experiences, each dream brings joy, healing, and hope to children who need it most.
This year, your participation will directly help make Dreamer Quinn’s dream of an Alaskan cruise a reality!
It’s More Than a Race, It’s a Festival
