Jacksonville Marathon Pace Calculator & Race Plan

Jacksonville is one of the flattest marathons in the country with only about 80 feet of total gain. The out-and-back course runs along San Jose Boulevard and the St. Johns River through the Mandarin neighborhood. December in northeast Florida usually provides cool, comfortable racing conditions.

On a course this flat, pacing is everything. Our model focuses on managing the natural positive drift over 26 miles and adjusting for the December weather conditions.
