Marathon of the Treasure Coast

Runners can choose from a full marathon, half marathon or the full marathon relay, which is open to teams of 2 to 4 runners each. Both races will follow out-and-back courses that start and finish in Stuart, Florida’s Memorial Park, and unfolds along the heart of Stuart. Runners start in downtown Stuart before running west, turning on to the Boardwalk Run, and continuing east toward Sewall’s Point. After making a loop around Sewall’s Point and traversing the bridge across St. Lucie River, the finish line is just a few miles away, passing several residential streets before crossing the finish line. The course is designed to show off the scenery and the waterfronts that the area is known for, organizers say, with plentiful views of the water along the St. Lucie River and Sewall’s Point, as well as of local shops and homes both there and in Stuart, to give runners a taste of the charm of southern Florida – and make it a great winter getaway from runners in colder parts of the country. The half marathon and the full marathon are open to both runners and walkers, and relay teams may either run or walk their legs during the race. The course time limit for both the half and the full marathon is 7 hours, which means that runners and walkers will need to have completed their races by 1:00 PM.
