“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 Marathon and 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 5 miler & 5k.
There is a 7 hour time limit to complete the event. The 5 miler and 5k are walker friendly. No walkers in the half marathon or marathon distances.
Pacers will be provided for the marathon and 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.
NO RACE DAY PARKING WILL BE ALLOWED AT FRONT STEET PARK OR BOAT RAMP
START AND FINISH AREAS NEAR MELBOURNE’S BEAUTIFUL RIVERSIDE FRONT STREET PARK!
