Common Questions About Running a December Marathon in Florida
What is a good Marathon time?

So anything under 4:26:33 puts you in the faster half of a typical field. That is the middle of these RunSignup fields, walkers and charity entrants included, not a national average.
How big is a typical December Marathon field?
