Le Health First Florida Marathon Weekend démarre et se termine près du Riverside Front Street Park dans le centre-ville de Melbourne, sur la Space Coast de Floride. Ce week-end de février propose quatre options aux coureurs : un marathon, un half marathon, le Sunshine State Lager 10K et un 5K. Les épreuves plus longues sont vraiment pensées pour les coureurs, avec une barrière horaire de sept heures pour le marathon et le half marathon. Le 5K est accessible aux marcheurs et ouvert aux participants à partir de 13 ans. Des pacers sont prévus pour le marathon et le half marathon. Localement, le marathon est considéré comme une bonne course qualificative pour le Boston Marathon. Le parcours du marathon part du centre-ville de Melbourne, en suivant la US1 et l'Indian River, avec quatre passages de ponts et quatre longues lignes droites de cinq miles. Les participants du half marathon, eux, traversent deux ponts. Les deux courses principales offrent un parcours le long de la rivière avec un dénivelé assez marqué pour la Floride. De la musique est prévue, avec jusqu'à 12 groupes ou animations sur les parcours du half et du marathon complet, et environ six pour le 10K et le 5K. Tous les finishers reçoivent des médailles en métaux recyclés. Les participants, toutes distances confondues, ont droit à une casquette ou une visière de l'événement. L'espace d'après-course propose de la bière Carib Brewery et tes photos de finisher offertes.
