About the Cocoa Beach 5k Color Fun Run
The course runs along the beach, heading north to a park area before looping back to the start. It is an out-and-back on sand, which means the footing is soft and the pace is honest. Ocean air, open sky, and a turnaround that keeps the route simple and readable. The race goes rain or shine.
The start and finish are near Coconuts on the Beach in downtown Cocoa Beach, so there is a landmark to anchor your morning. Post-race, you are already at the beach, steps from the water.
