Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon 2026

The Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon begins in historic Cocoa Village on Florida’s east coast, directing runners along a USATF-certified waterfront course. The event offers a marathon, a half marathon, and virtual options for both. The full marathon is open to runners and walkers aged 16 and older. It takes place in the vicinity of Kennedy Space Center, integrating a space theme throughout the event. The course concludes beside the river in Cocoa Riverfront Park, allowing spectators to view the finish. This marathon, now over fifty years old, holds the distinction of being Florida's oldest marathon. Its organizers connect the race to the region's space exploration history, referencing launches from Cape Canaveral, and the event also generates support for the local community.
