Half Marathon races near Florida Ridge

The Gobbler race in Fort Pierce, Florida, begins near the tennis courts at 5990 Emerson Avenue, offering runners four distance options: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. The event commences at 8:30 AM, with packet pickup available 30 minutes prior. Registration must be completed on RunSignup before race day, as no on-site sign-ups are permitted. The course consists of asphalt with repeated out-and-back segments, meaning participants will traverse the same path multiple times rather than completing a large loop. The 5K involves one out-and-back, the 10K two, the half marathon four, and the marathon eight, all within a 6-hour time limit. Restrooms are located in the pavilion close to the start. The race provides finisher medals, awards, series points, a gear shop, and a best costume prize.

The Game On! Marathon of the Treasure Coast starts and finishes at 300 SE Ocean Boulevard in Stuart, Florida, offering runners a local Treasure Coast race. The main event is a USATF-certified marathon, eligible as a Boston qualifier. The same race weekend also features a half marathon, a two-to-four-person marathon relay, and virtual full and half marathon options. Both in-person long races have a seven-hour limit, accommodating competitive runners, steady-paced finishers, relay teams, and walkers within the cutoff. The series, presented by Publix, has been a local community event for over ten years. Organizers anticipate over 2,000 participants across all formats, drawing athletes from Florida and other states. Families and local supporters engage with the weekend beyond spectating, and the event also raises funds for charitable causes. The relay allows groups to participate in marathon day without an individual covering the full distance, while the virtual races enable participation away from Stuart.
