Health First Florida 1/2 Marathon, 5 Miler & 5K

February 8 @ 6:30 am - 2:00 pm

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 5 miler & 5k.

There is a 3.5 hour time limit to complete the event. The 5 miler and 5k are walker friendly.
