Florida Renames Clearwater Trail Honoring Late Wrestler Hulk Hogan

Florida has honored the late wrestling legend Hulk Hogan by renaming a two-mile section of the Clearwater Memorial Causeway Trail as the "Hulk Hogan Trail," featuring red and yellow signage and exercise stations inspired by Hogan's signature colors. Governor Ron DeSantis made the announcement at Hogan's Hangout in Clearwater alongside Hogan's family, including his widow Sky, son Nick, and longtime friend Jimmy Hart. Nick Hogan expressed pride in the dedication, emphasizing his father's deep connection to Clearwater as his home. The tribute extends beyond the trail, with Florida declaring August 1, 2025, as "Hulk Hogan Day" and flying state and U.S. flags at half-staff earlier this year. Hogan, who passed away in July at age 71 following complications from neck surgery, left a lasting legacy in wrestling, pop culture, and his local community. The ceremony also acknowledged the support of WWE and TKO in preserving Hogan's positive legacy despite controversies associated with his life.
