Get ready to rev your running engines at the Daytona Beach Half Marathon and 5K, set for February 7, 2026, in sunny Daytona Beach, Florida! This event offers a unique opportunity to kick off your race with an unforgettable lap around the iconic Daytona International Speedway, a feature consistently highlighted by participants as a major draw. Beyond the renowned track, the largely flat course weaves through picturesque Daytona Beach landmarks, including Bethune-Cookman University, the scenic Riverfront Esplanade, and the historic Jackie Robinson Ballpark, before culminating in a vibrant finish at One Daytona's Victory Circle. While generally flat and conducive to personal bests, runners should prepare for some challenging bridges along the route.

Embrace the lively atmosphere and beautiful scenery as you tackle either the 13.1-mile half marathon or the 5K distance. For those looking for a team challenge, a Half Marathon Relay option is also available. Aid stations are strategically placed throughout the course, keeping runners hydrated with water and Gatorade. Typical race day conditions in early February offer ideal running weather, with comfortable highs around 70°F and lows around 51°F, alongside a low chance of precipitation. This destination event, hosted by CLASH Endurance, draws approximately 1,100 athletes, promising an engaging blend of competition and camaraderie against an iconic Florida backdrop.
