DeSantis Renames Clearwater Trail Segment the Hulk Hogan Trail

The governor framed a two-mile renaming with workout stations as a lasting hometown tribute to the late wrestling star.

Overview

  • Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the dedication at Hogan's Hangout in Clearwater, honoring Hulk Hogan months after his death at 71.
  • The Hulk Hogan Trail will span a two-mile stretch of the Clearwater Memorial Causeway segment of the Pinellas Trail between Oak Avenue and Coronado Drive.
  • Plans include red-and-yellow signage and exercise stations such as pull-up bars, with a commemorative sign already installed Friday morning.
  • Florida will recognize Aug. 1 as Hulk Hogan Day, following the state’s earlier flag-lowering after his death.
  • Hogan’s family, including his son Nick and widow Sky, attended the event, as coverage also notes his conservative political profile and that police were still investigating his July death as of late August.
