Each year, the Say No the Drugs Holiday Classic organizes three races: a 5K, 10K and one-mile race for kids, followed by a traditional pancake breakfast for all the runners. All three runs launch from Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater.<\/p>\n

Drug-Free World Florida<\/a> supports the annual event and sets up a booth where all are invited to\u00a0sign the Drug-Free World Pledge: To live drug-free, encourage friends and classmates to do the same, and help create a safer community.<\/p>\n
