About the Daytona Beach Memorial Day 5k
The course runs on the beach itself, so the footing is sand rather than pavement and the ocean is right there the whole way. It is open to runners of all speeds, and a kids fun run runs alongside the main event, so the start area draws a mixed crowd of families and serious runners alike.
The post-race scene is set up near LandShark Bar & Grill, which puts food and drinks close by when you finish. Professional race photos are included, so you do not need to hand your phone to a stranger at the finish line.
