The oldest Marathon in the state of Florida!!  Always held on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, save the date for 2019!

Running Zone Foundation and Space Coast Runners welcome you to the 48th running of the Space Coast Marathon & 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 of Florida.

Our event starts in the historic and quaint Cocoa Village, and finishes along the river in Lee Wenner Park and Cocoa Riverfront Park where family and friends can cheer and watch your finish.

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. 

The Bottoms Up Beer Run (BUBR) is a fun 4K that combines running (or walking) with homebrew along the way.

Brewers from SAAZ (Spacecoast Associates for the Advancement of Zymurgy) will be providing 5 different homebrews for your enjoyment along the course. Participants (21y/o and up) can consume 4 – 4oz beer shots along the race course and finish with a full beer to celebrate your accomplishment. Those under 21 cannot consume the beer but can still join in the fun. And if running and drinking is not your thing, we will have water along the course for you.

The race is professionally timed by the Running Zone so you can race your way through quickly to a personal best or take your time sipping along the way and laugh at how long it took you to do a 4K.
Proceeds from the race benefit St. Baldrick’s and SAAZ. Come join us for a fun day of running and drinking homebrew!

Tech shirts for all registered runners and a finishers medal that doubles as a bottle opener! Race capped at 400 entrants this year, register early!
