Pirate 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Set sail for adventure at the Pirate 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in scenic Tallahassee, Florida. This exciting event, part of the US Road Running Race Series, offers a range of distances for every runner, including a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 15K, and the formidable 13.1-mile Half Marathon. Beginning at 8:00 AM at the picturesque J. R. Alford Greenway, participants will traverse engaging out-and-back courses with varying laps depending on their chosen distance. The terrain is uniquely "not a hard surface," promising a dynamic running experience through the stunning natural landscapes of Leon County.

Embrace the buccaneer spirit by dressing in your finest pirate costume; a prize will be awarded for the best attire, adding a festive and memorable touch to your race day. All finishers will proudly receive a distinctive, themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the half marathon, this event welcomes both seasoned athletes and newcomers. Packet pickup commences 30 minutes before the race start, so plan to arrive early as on-site registration will not be available. Typical race day conditions in early April generally feature highs around 78°F and lows around 53°F, with a low 11% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant running weather.
