The Experience

This Tallahassee event, part of a series, presents a straightforward out-and-back course designed for runners seeking a low-key race day. The 13.1-mile race, along with 5K and 10K options, utilizes a trail path, offering a softer surface underfoot.

While the "Ninja" theme appears on the finisher medal, one runner noted that the costume aspect didn't fully materialize on race day, contributing to a feel more akin to a running club meetup. The course time limit is set at 3 hours and 30 minutes, accommodating a wide range of paces.

Participants can expect a no-frills experience, with chip timing and awards available. The event is managed by US Road Running, known for its series of races across various locations.

Race-provided description

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
