The course.
Every race starts and finishes on Flagler Drive by Datura Street, next to the Meyer Amphitheatre in downtown West Palm Beach. The marathon is a two-loop course through downtown, historic neighborhoods and shaded city streets, and along palm-lined Flagler Drive past Manatee Lagoon. The organizer calls it completely flat; it is USATF certified and a Boston qualifier. Marathon and half marathon runners share the same pace groups, and the half runs along the Intracoastal and is billed as walker friendly. The relay covers the marathon course in four legs of 7.9, 4.9, 8.3 and 5.1 miles, with a single exchange point a short walk from the start and finish. The 5K and 10K follow the palm-lined waterfront, and the organizer pitches the 10K at runners who can finish in under 1 hour 30 minutes. The course maps on the official site are still labeled 2025.
