Fort Lauderdale, FL
Entry is $40 now and rises to $45 after Nov 3, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the coastal boulevard, so you are on a flat stretch with the ocean beside you. The crowd watching from the sidewalk sees a field of runners dressed as Santa, bells tied to their shoes, which makes the whole thing loud and a little absurd in the best way.
