Panama City Beach Marathon

The Panama City Beach Marathon begins and ends at Pier Park, a shopping and entertainment area near the Gulf in Panama City Beach, Florida. Held in December, the event offers a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, and Kids Fun Run. This caters to Boston Marathon hopefuls, local families, visitors, and those seeking a shorter race. The marathon follows a certified 26.2-mile course, qualifying runners for the Boston Marathon, and includes professional timing and live runner tracking via RaceJoy. The course keeps participants near Panama City Beach’s Gulf coast, with race descriptions noting it runs along the area’s beaches. The Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce organizes the event, presented by Visit Panama City Beach, drawing thousands of residents and visitors. Proceeds from the race partially benefit a local nonprofit. Marathon, half-marathon, and 5K participants receive a long-sleeve shirt, all finishers are awarded a medal, and the post-race gathering takes place at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville in Pier Park.

Powerade Panama City Beach Marathon

The Powerade Panama City Beach Marathon starts and finishes at Pier Park, with runners completing a 26.2-mile race along Panama City Beach’s Gulf Coast. The event takes place in December and features a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, wheelchair races for the marathon and half marathon, and a Kids Fun Run. The participants range from competitive marathoners to families and novice runners. The certified marathon course is a Boston Marathon qualifier, and the race utilizes professional timing with RaceJoy tracking for spectators. The course is looped, centered around Pier Park and Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, rather than a remote start or point-to-point finish. Thousands of local residents and visitors attend the race, which organizers call a Panhandle staple. Finishers in the full marathon, half marathon, and 5K receive medals, runners get a race shirt, and most aid stations provide GU Energy Gel while supplies last. After the races, Margaritaville hosts a post-race party with beer and gumbo. A portion of race proceeds benefits a local nonprofit organization.

About Half Marathon races in Panama City-Panama City Beach

Coastal Miles, Flat Roads

Panama City-Panama City Beach hosts 4 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Panama City Beach like a coastal long-run town. Pier Park gives the Panama City Beach Marathon its anchor feel, and the course travels down Front Beach to St. Andrews State Park. The 2-mile trek has one of the better views you can get in a marathon. Conservation Park gives trail days some bite with 12 dirt trails across 2,900 acres. The trails cover 84 km with 9 m of gain. The local club list names no run clubs, so people build around races like Copper Collar 5K, Luau 5K and 10K, Gobbler, Holiday, Ninja, Eagle, and Medal Madness.

Locals ride flat first, then go looking for texture. Gayle's Trails gives 22 miles of flat paved base miles and connects into Conservation Park. St. Lake Powell has an 8-mile loop around it. The area has no singletrack. The route runs 28 km and gains 72 m, so the climbs are modest and mostly come as rollers. 6 is the big anchor event.

The brief does not name best months, but locals treat the cooler race block as prime time for both running and riding. Summer training stays early and practical, and the Ninja race starts at 8:30 AM on an out-and-back course with a 2-hour time limit. The Eagle race and Medal Madness race also use out-and-back formats with 2-hour limits, so intervals stay tidy and predictable. Winter has most of the races. 6 lands on 2026-11-07, Copper Collar 5K lands on 2026-11-14, Gobbler 5K and 10K lands on 2026-11-21, and Holiday 5K and 10K lands on 2026-12-05 and 2026-12-19.
