About the Marco Island Half Marathon
Gulf Coast Runners closes its winter calendar here, on an island south of Naples where Sunday roads are quiet enough to close early. Proceeds go to Marco Island schools, a local food program, and the club's youth development fund. The three-hour cutoff is tied to reopening traffic, so this is not a walker-friendly half.
Course
Mostly flat island road. The one real climb is the Goodland Bridge at the east end of the island, steep enough to break rhythm in a race that otherwise gives runners nothing to push against. Sun exposure is constant once the field leaves the residential streets.
Race-day weather
Early March is the reason this race sits where it does on the calendar. A 7:00 start is usually in the 60s with high humidity, and the temperature climbs quickly once the sun is up over open water.
