How to Find Upcoming Races and the Race Calendar on Gulfwinds

Updated

Gulfwinds (GWTC) publishes its upcoming race schedule on the homepage under the VOLUNTEER RACE CALENDAR heading, with a View All Upcoming Races link and a More Info link for each event. If you want dates and entry points for races like the Tallahassee Turkey Trot or the Tallahassee Marathon, that section is where to start.

Where the race calendar lives

On gulfwinds.org, the race calendar appears as a homepage block labeled VOLUNTEER RACE CALENDAR. It lists a short set of upcoming events rather than the full year, so the block functions as a preview. A View All Upcoming Races link sits with the list for the complete schedule.

Each listed race follows the same format:

  • Race name
  • Date
  • A More Info link

The More Info link is the path to race-specific details — the homepage excerpt does not show what those detail pages contain, so treat the link as the entry point rather than a source of registration or course information on its own.

Races shown in the calendar

The homepage excerpt lists these events:

Race Date
Salute to Steve Prefontaine 5K & 1 Mile September 26, 2026
Pine Run at Tall Timbers 20K October 10, 2026
Tallahassee Turkey Trot November 26, 2026
Tallahassee Marathon/Half/Relay February 7, 2027

This is a sample of what the calendar surfaces, not a complete season. The Turkey Trot entry is consistent with the site's news item marking the 50th running of the event, which notes the first race took place in 1976.

Steps to find a race and its details

  1. Open gulfwinds.org.
  2. Scroll to the VOLUNTEER RACE CALENDAR block.
  3. Scan the race names and dates for the event you want.
  4. Select More Info next to that race to open its detail page.
  5. If your race is not in the short list, select View All Upcoming Races to see the fuller schedule.

Expected result: you land on a race-specific page or a longer list, depending on which link you used.

Common snags

  • The homepage list is partial. Seeing only four races does not mean those are the only ones scheduled — use View All Upcoming Races.
  • Dates can shift. The site shows a concrete example of this: Tuesday morning intervals moved to the Holy Comforter Episcopal School track effective September 1, 2026, while the 6:30 a.m. start time stayed the same. Confirm against the race's own page rather than a cached listing.
  • "More Info" is not a registration button. The excerpt does not indicate what the detail page offers, so check there for entry specifics.

Related ways to keep up

Beyond the calendar, GWTC posts race results and news items, including podcast episodes and a President's Column. The Summer Town Hall notice (July 25, 2026, 3:30–5:30 p.m. at Momo's in Market Square, with the club providing a first drink and free pizza) shows that club announcements also carry event logistics — useful if you want context around a race weekend rather than just the date.
