It’s going to be unusually loud in downtown St. Petersburg this week.

The four-day Grand Prix of St. Petersburg runs March 2-5 and kicks off with a Thursday 5K, where runners will be able to race on the track itself and then get down with the community at North Straub Park’s “Party in the Park.”

Practice and qualifying is on Friday, with a full day of racing (MX-5 Cup, Indy cars, more) on Saturday. Sunday is the big, 100-lap race, which kicks off at 12:30 p.m.

Tickets to the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg are still available and start at $25.
