The Daytona Beach Half Marathon features a breathtaking course that takes runners from the historic asphalt (flat surface) of Daytona International Speedway to International Speedway Boulevard leading to a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean atop the International Speedway Boulevard high-rise bridge to the sparkling, white, hard-packed sands of Daytona Beach and then back to the start/finish line inside the iconic motorsports facility. This year, the event includes a half marathon, a two-person half marathon relay, a 3.1-mile lap the track and a challenge for runners who compete in both the half marathon and the 3.1-mile lap the track. Called the “Speedway Challenge” and limited to the first 1,000 runners to register, a second 3.1-mile race will take place approximately three hours after the start of the half marathon. Finishers in both events will receive a prestigious third medal.
