Tallahassee Marathon/Half Marathon, Location: FSU Track, Date: February 3, 2008. In 2004 the start of this race moved to the FSU Track and was run over an entirely new course starting on the FSU track and covering a lot of the St. Marks "Rails to Trails." It is flat and fast. Jay Silvanima took over the reins of this classy event for 2007 after working it as a volunteer for a number of years. It was a record turnout! There is no better marathon experience than a “hometown” marathon and this one proves the point. This race was first run in 1975 in the forest at Natural Bridge Road and might just be the first “official” GWTC race. The certified flat, fast course is perfect for a PR or Boston qualifier.
