Bank of America Tallahassee Marathon and Half Marathon

Deidre isn’t coming to Tallahassee to chase a PR.
She’s coming back to 13.1 after more than eight years — for a weekend with her daughter at FSU, for the beauty of Tallahassee, and for the chance to remind herself what her body can still do. ❤️

Four years after breast cancer, this finish line means something different.

And when training starts? She already knows the soundtrack: plenty of ’80s rock. 🎸🏃‍♀️

We love that every runner arrives at the start line with a different reason.
Deidre has hers. What will yours be?

Runner Spotlight: Wyatt DeRyke 🏃‍♂️✨

Please help us cheer on Wyatt DeRyke from Orlando, FL, as he prepares to run his very first half marathon at the Tallahassee Marathon & Half Marathon!

Wyatt has been running on and off for three years, and this year he set a clear goal for himself: take on the 13.1-mile distance and bring it all the way across the finish line.

For Wyatt, the most rewarding part of this training block has been building discipline—proving to himself that he can lace up and get it done every single day, even on the days he doesn't feel like it.

When the long miles are done, his go-to recovery meal is a solid Chipotle bowl, powered along the way by high-energy tracks from Holy Priest and Fantasm.

We love seeing first-time half marathoners take on our course, and we can’t wait to celebrate Wyatt's finish in Tallahassee! Drop some race-day encouragement for him below. 👇

🚨 BIG UPDATES for the 2027 Bank of America Tallahassee Marathon & Half Marathon! 🚨

Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 7, 2027—we are back, and the race experience is getting a massive upgrade! 🏃‍♂️💨

We’ve been listening to your feedback and working hard behind the scenes to make this the smoothest, fastest, and most comfortable race day yet. Here is what’s new for 2027:

🗺️ Brand New Courses: We’ve redesigned the routes to reduce congestion and give you more room to settle into your pace. The biggest upgrade? We’ve replaced Cascades Park with Harriman Circle for a much smoother flow!

⏱️ New 3-Start Corral System: To ease crowding at the starting line, we are introducing three pace-based start corrals (even the Boston Marathon adjusted their start line numbers this year to give runners more breathing room!). Your corral will be based on your estimated finish time.

🏆 Awards Breakdown: Overall 1st–3rd place will be decided by gun time (all starting in Corral 1). Masters and Grand Masters will be decided by net time, so you can start exactly where you feel most comfortable!

The energy, the incredible volunteers, the community cheering sections, and that unforgettable finish line feeling are all waiting for you.

💥 The best part? Registering early locks in the absolute best pricing and gives you the perfect goal to start training for.

Don't wait—secure your spot at the start line today! 👇
