About the Daytona Beach Half Marathon & 5K
The course starts inside Daytona International Speedway, runs a lap on the actual track, then heads out into the city, passing Bethune-Cookman University, the Riverfront Esplanade, and Jackie Robinson Ballpark before swinging by the Motorsports Hall of Fame. It finishes back at One Daytona, which puts you right in the thick of the speedway complex.
The half marathon can also be run as a relay, with teams split into segments that divide up the course between the speedway, the riverfront stretch, and the final push to the finish. The 5K runs alongside the same event, so the morning draws a range of distances on the same roads.
