The
Apalachee Regional Park cross-country
venue promises to attract top local,
regional, national and international
talent with its fast surface, scenic
beauty, and accessibility. The Gulf
Winds Track Club is excited and thankful
to have been able to work with FSU and
Leon County in so many ways in order to
bring this marvelous running venue to
fruition!
- Judy Alexander, President of Gulf
Winds Track Club
This trail is the first of its kind in Leon County and is a pristine addition to the already commendable park system present in Tallahassee. This trail was made possible by the coordinated efforts of the Leon County Parks & Recreation, FSU, and Gulf Winds Track Club. The Gulf Winds Track Club at FSU provided funding for the creation of the course.
The trail was designed to give runners the opportunity to run on several types of surfaces. When the trail is not being used for a running event, it is open to the general public for hiking, running, and biking. The course will be used not only for local races but also for district and regional school races.
Directions to Park
The park is located at
7550 Apalachee Parkway, about
four-and-a-half miles east of US-319 on
US-27.
