Just driving up and over the Skyway Bridge is scary, but this weekend 8,000 people will take part in the Skyway 10K run that sends them 200 feet above sea level.

The point-to-point race—which goes from Manatee to Pinellas County—aims to raise funds and awareness for the Armed Forces Families Foundation (AFFF), which supports military families across the country.

And yes, for drivers, that means that the northbound span of the Skyway will close at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday morning and reopen at 11 a.m. Only $300 VIP registrations remain for the Skyway 10k on Sunday, March 3, and a viewing area is available at Tropicana Field.
