The U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon takes place over a weekend in December in Downtown West Palm Beach, featuring a marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The marathon is a Boston qualifier, attracting runners aiming for a specific time standard alongside those opting for a shorter distance during the same weekend. U.S. Polo Assn. is the multi-year title sponsor, and Ken Kennerly’s K2 Sports Ventures owns the event.
The course winds through West Palm Beach’s waterfront and streets lined with palm trees, offering a South Florida atmosphere within the downtown core. The event attracts participants globally, with over 6,100 runners from 29 countries and 46 states. More than 200 volunteers assist, including USPA Global employees, and local station WPBF 25 has provided five hours of live race coverage.
