Sea Turtle Half Marathon

Sea Turtle Half Marathon is held in Gulf Shores, Alabama, on February 13, 2027, and the morning is built around a Valentine's theme. The half marathon (13.1 miles) goes first at 7:30 a.m., the True Love 10K follows at 8 a.m., the Sweetheart 5K run/walk at 8:30 a.m. and the Be Mine one-mile at 8:35 a.m. The staggered starts mean a group can enter different distances and still finish within the same window.

This is a road race on the Alabama Gulf Coast, and a mid-February half marathon is a natural target for anyone who kept training through the winter. Twelve to fourteen weeks is the usual build: four runs a week, one of them long, and a couple of steady efforts at half-marathon pace in the final month. If 13.1 is more than your current fitness supports, the 10K half an hour later asks much less and still gives you a race.
