About
Celebrating its 55th year in 2026, the Space Coast Marathon is the oldest marathon in the state of Florida. The USATF-certified, mostly flat course starts in beautiful Cocoa Village at Cocoa Riverfront Park and runs along Indian River Drive with space-themed aid stations and partially shaded roads. A well-regarded Boston qualifier, the course features some small rolling hills in the first half before joining the scenic river views for the second half. Virtual marathon and half marathon options are also available.
