Jacksonville Running: River Bridges and Florida Flats

Running in Jacksonville, Florida’s largest city by area, is defined by the massive, flowing St. Johns River and the city's coastal location. The city’s flagship race is the famous Gate River Run, a massive 15K event. While the majority of the city’s roads are characteristically flat, capitalizing on Florida's low elevation, the River Run is renowned for the challenge presented by its bridge crossings, particularly the massive ascent and steep descent of the Hart Bridge, locally known as "The Green Monster."

The St. Johns River Tour and Downtown Views

The marathon and half marathon events also utilize the flat, scenic riverfront parkways and downtown streets, providing a fast, traditional course profile, but the River Run remains the signature challenge. The courses offer continuous, sweeping views of the downtown skyline and the beautiful, wide St. Johns River, one of the few rivers in the U.S. that flows north. The presence of the enormous naval base also adds a patriotic layer to many local running events.

The commitment of the local running community ensures excellent support and energy, especially near the river crossings. Whether you are tackling the full marathon distance to enjoy the coastal flats for speed, or joining the massive 15K race to conquer the infamous Green Monster bridge, running in Jacksonville delivers a vigorous, well-organized, and distinctly Northeastern Floridian running adventure.
