St. Pete Marathon

St. Pete Marathon takes place on December 19, 2027, in St. Petersburg, Florida. The marathon covers 26.2 miles (42.2 km). Start times and elevation gain are not listed in our records.

December is when Florida becomes the best place in the country to run a marathon: humidity at its annual low, temperatures in the teens at dawn, and a flat coastal profile. If you have trained through a northern autumn, this is a course on which to attempt a qualifying time — just remember that even a mild Florida morning warms quickly once the sun is up.
