Pro tips
- 01
Flat and Fast
The marathon is 100% flat and USATF certified, a Boston Qualifier, and Florida's second-fastest course. Aim for even splits and use the pace team to stay on target.

Beat the Sunrise
Start time is 06:00, so you'll run into sunrise along the intracoastal. Wear sunglasses or a visor. Typical race day temp is 23C, so early miles are cooler.

Scenic Shade
The route passes through downtown, historic neighborhoods, and shaded palm-lined boulevards. Use the shade to stay cool, but expect sunnier stretches near the waterfront.

Start and Finish Hub
The race starts and finishes near Meyer Amphitheatre on Flagler Drive. That makes logistics easy—no remote start—so you can warm up, stash gear, and meet spectators at the same spot.
