The FTC Mary Andrews Marathon: 13.1 & 26.2

🏃‍♀️ The FTC Mary Andrews Full and Half Marathon

This beautiful out-and-back course on the asphalt paved Gainesville Hawthorne Trail is FAST and a Boston Qualifier race. Last year we had almost 50% of our runners qualified for Boston.

In our first year, the marathon course men's record was set at 2:33 by Matt Taddeo and women's at 2:48 by Katie Nelson! The half-course men's record is 1:09 by Alejandro Rivera for the men (2021) and the women's is 1:24 by Haley Hasty (2022.) Do you think you can make history this year?

🕒 Start Times and Location

Both the Full and Half marathons will start at 8 am from the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trailhead at 21815 SE 71st Ave. in Hawthorne, FL.

Race Cap: The race will be capped at 200 total runners between the two events, so be sure to sign up ASAP before prices increase.

🏅 Relay Race Option

Like last year, we added the opportunity to race as a 4-person relay team with your friends! Each person will run one length of the course and will share and exchange one bib belt along the way.

Important Note: When registering as a team, the first person who signs up will be prompted to create the team and will pay the total amount. The following team members will be able to sign up and join the team by finding it in the list of created teams.

Be sure to sign up ASAP before prices increase.

Registration for the full and half races will be available online until 1 hour prior to the race start. (No race day registration for relay teams.)
