Courses de Half Marathon près de Braden

The Chasing the Sun Endurance Run takes place at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton, Florida. Participants can choose from a 4.35-mile loop, a half marathon, full marathon, 50K, team relay, or an all-day endurance challenge. This race utilizes repeated loops instead of a point-to-point course, allowing runners to select anything from a brief single-loop effort to an extended day of continuous laps. The course combines pavement, sand, and shell, with the majority of the running surface consisting of sand and shell, making trail shoes and gaiters advisable. Runners will traverse preserve terrain offering views of Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and Anna Maria Island. All participants, excluding those in the 4.35-mile category, are required to begin with their own water container. Aid is provided at a staffed station near mile 2, offering water, Gatorade, soda, and snacks, along with a self-serve water stop around mile 3 and provisions at the finish line for those concluding their race or preparing for another lap.

The Haunted 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon at Heritage Harbor Park in Bradenton, Florida, offers four running distances on the same morning, all themed for Halloween. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Runners must register in advance via RunSignup and collect their packets just before the event; no registration is available on race day. The event's layout is functional and contained, with parking near the playground in the expansive lot and a six-hour time limit for all distances. The races feature short, repeated out-and-back courses, meaning participants will traverse the same section multiple times rather than completing a single, extended loop. The 5K consists of one 3.11-mile out-and-back segment. The 10K covers this segment twice. The half marathon utilizes a 3.28-mile out-and-back course four times, and the marathon repeats this same route eight times. All finishers earn medals, and costume awards complement the Haunted theme. The event also contributes to series points for participants in the broader race series.

The Florida Halloween Distance Classic takes place at Fort De Soto Park on Florida's Gulf coast, a short drive from downtown St. Petersburg. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, or 5K, with early starts on a fast, flat road course. Costumes are encouraged but not required, and a costume contest with prizes is part of the event, accommodating both runners aiming for fast times and those in creative Halloween attire. All three races begin and end at North Beach within Fort De Soto Park. The course is an out-and-back route along park roads and trails through wooded areas, proceeding towards the island's southern tip and its easternmost point. Runners will encounter sections with white-sand beaches and water views, and minimal vehicle traffic allows for an open course time limit. The half marathon follows the same path as the Florida Beach Halfathon, and previous years have seen over a thousand finishers across all race distances.
