“One Of America’s Top 10 Bucket List Waterfront Races,” Says Runners World Magazine.
Located in Melbourne, the Publix Florida Marathon & 1/2 Marathon makes for a perfect warm winter running destination for runners of all ages and levels. This 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 & Florida Eye 5K.
The half marathon, 10k, and 5k are walker-friendly.
A very scenic route awaits and includes four bridge crossings for the full and two for the half-marathon. The course twice takes marathoners to the beach side barrier island and back to the mainland before concluding at the riverfront Front Street Park in Downtown Melbourne.
Parking: A fee of $10 per vehicle will be charged for parking in City-owned parking lots.
Road Closures: Lane closures will begin at 12:01 a.m. and continue through 1:30 p.m. US Highway 1, Eau Gallie Causeway, and the Melbourne Causeway will be open for vehicular traffic. Expect delays.
