The marathon started as scheduled at 7:30 AM on the Florida State University campus. A heavy fog hung in the air. Leading the race, Bryan Morseman finished the first mile in 5:15, just half a step ahead of Philip Lagat. Trailing them in third place was Ecuadorian master runner Esteban Vanegas, the 2011 Tallahassee Marathon champion. Abraham Kogo was holding fourth.
With two and a half miles to go the leaders turned off of the St. Marks Trail and onto Gamble Street. Philip Lagat had pulled to within ten seconds of Bryan Morseman. Morseman came to life on Gamble Street, though, and began to pull away again. The race was over. Morseman reached the finish line on FSU's Mike Long Track with a winning 2:24:29. Lagat followed, runner-up in 2:25:48. Abraham Kogo was third in 2:36:40. Esteban Vanegas was the first master runner, fourth overall in 2:42:42. Moving up through the field during the race to finish fifth, Stephen Cox was the first Tallahassee runner in the marathon, posting a 2:45:39.
