Running Zone and Space Coast Runners welcome you to the 38th running of the Space Coast Marathon and Half-Marathon – Florida’s oldest marathon. We invite runners and walkers alike to experience one of the most beautiful USATF certified waterfront courses on the east coast.

Both races start in the historic and quaint Cocoa Village, and finish with a lap around the Riverfront Park amphitheatre where family and friends can cheer and watch your finish live and on the JumboTron.

As our race is held within the shadow of the Kennedy Space Center, the entire event revolves around a space theme sure to delight and energize our participants.

In Nov., 2008, Runners World magazine voted it the “Race of the Month”. 5-4-3-2-1! Blast off for this year’s 6 a.m. start of the Space Coast Marathon and Half!
