Gulf Winds Summer Trail Series
The Gulf Winds Summer Trail Series features four off-road races on Tallahassee trails, with a 150-runner limit. The series takes place over the summer and is sold as a complete package; runners commit to all four events instead of selecting individual races. The series begins with a race of approximately 5 miles on Oak Hammock Trail, followed by another approximately 5-mile race on Redbug Trail. The series concludes with two approximately 6-mile races, one on Cadillac Trail and another at Maclay Gardens State Park. The courses include rolling terrain, single track, multi-use paths, and technical sections with rocks, roots, and sharp turns. Water stations may be present near the halfway point, but participants should carry their own hydration as support varies by event. Series standings are based on a runner's best three results, with points awarded by finishing position. Championship awards are presented at the final race. In case of a tie in the standings, the runner with the faster overall time at the last event wins. Each participant receives a new bib for each race, and series registration includes a short-sleeve race shirt while supplies last.

HOKA + Nights of Thunder Cross Country Fest
The HOKA + Nights of Thunder Cross Country Fest is a two-day cross country meet held at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. Races are scheduled after dark, run under the stadium lights. It serves as a season-opening festival for the sport, featuring a showmanship style around a full schedule of races for collegiate, high school, middle school, and open or masters divisions. The venue is the Apalachee Regional Park course, which also hosts the Florida high school state cross country championships, the NJCAA cross country championships, and the World Athletics cross country championships. College men compete in an 8K race, college women in a 5K, middle school runners in a 3K, and high school varsity, junior varsity, and open divisions race 5K. Teams have the option to reserve areas for tents and amenities, and coaches receive a dedicated coaches' box, indicating the event is structured for entire teams rather than just individual participants.
About cycling & running in Tallahassee
Tallahassee Training Notes
Running: Locals run Tallahassee like a trail town with a campus heartbeat. R. Alford Greenway. Tom Brown Park gives long-run options up to 20-plus miles, and Leon High School handles intervals. I cannot rewrite this sentence because it appears to be a fragment with missing text after "The St." Without knowing what follows (likely a street name, race name, or location), I cannot reconstruct the complete thought. Based on the context mentioning "5 miles from Doak Campbell Stadium to St." immediately before and "5 miles of singletrack nearby" after, it seems text was accidentally duplicated or cut off mid-sentence. The campus sits 5 miles from Doak Campbell Stadium to St. Marks Trail. You'll find 5 miles of singletrack nearby. Fleet Feet Tallahassee Run Club meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM for 3 miles, and Gulf Winds keeps the race calendar anchored with the Gulf Winds Summer Trail Series and GWTC 5K for Sickle Cell Anemia.
Cycling: Locals ride a mix of greenways, hardpack, red clay, and proper MTB. Cascades Park and the FAMU Way Path work for easy spins, while St. Marks/Munson Hills, Lafayette Heritage Trail Park, Tom Brown MTB Park, and Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park bring singletrack, roots, rock gardens, and steep grades. Capital City Cyclists, Great Rides Tallahassee, Epic Bikes, and TMBA run group rides, with Epic Bikes going out Tuesday at 6 PM and Saturday at 8:15 AM. 8 km.
Season: Florida Winter gives runners and riders the cleanest block for base miles, Z2, and bigger weekends. Summer brings long heat, heavy humidity, and brief intense showers and thunderstorms from the Gulf of Mexico sea breeze, so locals move early and keep water close. Tallahassee stays green year-round, and the humidity takes a day or two to get used to. Winter changes the kit more than the mindset, with mild days, cooler mornings, and occasional freezes. The city sits in hilly country by Florida standards, with elevations up to 104 m and enough rolling terrain to keep intervals honest.
