How to Choose a Florida Marathon
- Pick the month first. The established road marathons fall between late November and early March. Late January and early February usually bring the coolest race mornings in Central and North Florida, while South Florida races stay warmer and more humid.
- Check the start time. Florida marathons start early to beat the heat: 5:50 AM at Fort Lauderdale A1A, 6:00 AM at Space Coast, Palm Beaches and Melbourne, 7:00 AM at Jacksonville and 7:30 AM at DONNA.
- Know the course. Most Florida marathons are flat, but bridges and causeways add the climbs: Miami crosses the MacArthur and Venetian causeways, Melbourne has four causeway crossings, and Tallahassee is rolling.
- Read the format. Multi-distance events like the Gobbler, Holiday and MileBuilt challenges list a marathon alongside shorter races on the same day. Bound for Boston in Sarasota is a 1-mile loop run 26-plus times with a 4-hour limit. Check the course and time limit on the race page before you register.
- Register early for the big ones. The 2026 Space Coast Marathon and the 2027 Miami Marathon were sold out when we checked on October 5, 2026. Set a goal pace with the pace calculator before you sign up.
