“One of America’s Top 10 Bucket List Waterfront Races,” says Runners World Magazine
Located in Melbourne on Florida’s Space Coast, between Miami and Jacksonville, east of Orlando and Tampa, the Health First Florida 1/2 Marathon makes for a perfect warm winter running destination for runners of all ages and levels. It is held a month after the Disney Marathon. Like a Rock-n-Roll marathon, our event includes up to 12 musical acts along the course of the half and full marathon and half a dozen on the routes of the Sunshine State Lager 10K & 5k.
There is a 3.5 hour time limit to complete the event. The10k and 5k are walker friendly.
Pacers will be provided for the half marathon event
We compost, Recycle, Reuse and are one of the world’s most sustainable running and endurance events.
To continue our sustainability efforts and to avoid hundreds of leftover shirts, we will continue to sell shirts separately.
