Experience the vibrant energy of Florida's coastline at the Palm Beaches Marathon, held annually in West Palm Beach. This premier event showcases diverse running options for athletes of all levels, including a full marathon and half-marathon, along with relay teams and 5K enthusiasts. The race begins near the charming Meyer Amphitheatre on Flagler Drive, offering runners an immediate immersion into the city’s historic charm and architectural beauty. The course winds through dynamic downtown streets, shaded palm-lined boulevards, and scenic waterfront areas, providing a picturesque backdrop for competitive racing or leisurely strolls. For marathoners aiming to achieve their personal bests, the full 26.2-mile route is USATF certified as Florida’s second-fastest course due to its entirely flat terrain. This makes it an ideal choice for Boston Marathon qualifiers and those seeking fast times in a supportive environment. The half-marathon offers similar advantages with its own dedicated pace team, ensuring runners can maintain their desired speeds throughout the 13.1-mile journey. The marathon relay challenges teams of four to complete the full distance together, fostering camaraderie among participants as they navigate the scenic course and pass through historic neighborhoods and vibrant parks along the way. The half-marathon also features a sunrise start that takes runners past serene intracoastal waterways, enhancing the overall experience with stunning views. The 5K race kicks off early in the weekend festivities on palm-lined streets near the waterfront, offering participants an opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of West Palm Beach while experiencing a shorter yet equally rewarding run. Upon crossing the finish line, all runners are greeted by music and a post-race buffet, ensuring everyone has time to celebrate their achievements and reflect on the day’s memorable moments. Whether you're chasing personal records or simply enjoying a beautiful Florida morning, the Palm Beaches Marathon offers an unforgettable experience for every runner.
