St. Pete Marathon - December 2027
The St. Pete Marathon debuts in December 2027 as an annual marathon held in St. Petersburg, Florida. The race starts and finishes at Flora Wylie Park (1400 N Shore Dr NE) in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood and runs entirely inside St. Petersburg on the Gulf Coast of Pinellas County.
The event is produced by St. Petersburg Marathon LLC and organized by United Sports Association. The course is described as flat and waterfront, engineered for performance and for runners pursuing Boston qualifying times over the 26.2 miles distance. The race serves as the host for the 2027 USATF Florida Association Marathon Open and Masters Championships.
Operational details include a six hour time limit for the marathon, aid stations supplying water and refreshments approximately every two to three miles, staged road closures with dedicated crossing points, and a medical response plan with law enforcement and private security. Event stewardship practices emphasize a multi-stage waste management and post-race cleanup approach.
The St. Pete Run Club provides coach-led training programs and customized marathon plans tied to the event. Organizers note partnerships with local nonprofits to support community initiatives and recommend carpooling, rideshare, or public parking garages for downtown arrival due to expected traffic near the course.
