Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon & Half Marathon

The Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon & Half Marathon is a major winter destination race weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, set along the city’s beach roads, downtown streets, and oceanfront A1A corridor. The event is produced by the Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon organization, with the official site footer listing Exclusive Sports Marketing, Inc. and a race listing naming A1A Marathon Inc. as organizer.

The race weekend includes the Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon, Half Marathon, CELSIUS Fort Lauderdale 5K, Fresh from Florida 6K, and Kids Race. The marathon course is a certified Boston qualifier and is promoted as a fast, flat route with extensive ocean views, ending near the beach under the event tagline: “Where the Ocean is Your Finish Line.”

Runners start downtown near the Museum of Discovery & Science area and finish by the beach at 1100 Seabreeze Blvd., giving the event a classic South Florida feel: palm trees, ocean breeze, sunrise race conditions, beachside energy, and a post-race atmosphere built around Fort Lauderdale’s coastal setting.
