Lace up your running shoes for the Viking 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to conquer the scenic JR Alford Greenway in Tallahassee, Florida, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This exciting event offers a unique running experience across three popular distances, catering to a range of abilities. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 66°F and lows near 42°F, alongside a low 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a challenging yet enjoyable run.

The course at JR Alford Greenway is not a hard surface, offering runners a refreshing change from typical road races with its natural terrain. All distances feature an out-and-back layout, providing a straightforward yet engaging challenge. The 5K runners will tackle the course twice, while 10K participants will complete it four times, and half marathoners will cover the route six times, ensuring a consistent and manageable effort. The race kicks off at 8:00 AM, with a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, allowing ample time to achieve your goals.

Adding to the spirited atmosphere, participants are encouraged to embrace the Viking theme by wearing costumes, with an award for the best dressed. Every finisher will proudly receive a themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment, and the race contributes points towards the US Road Running Race Series. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, concluding 10 minutes prior to the start, and all registrations must be completed online in advance as there is no on-site registration.
