Event
Details
South Florida's A1A Highway is the setting for the annual mid-autumn
running of the Boca Raton PAL Half Marathon & 5K, which saw
just over 300 runners cross the finish line in the half marathon alone
at its 2008 running. Fast and flat thanks to both its south Florida
location and run on paved surfaces throughout, the race starts and
finishes at Boca Raton's Spanish River Park on Ocean Avenue, and
follows an out-and-back route that unfolds largely along the A1A before
bringing runners back to the park for the finish line festivities.
What can runners expect along the highway race route at the PAL Half?
Plenty of the scenery for which Boca and the Miami metro area is so
well known, namely palm trees and sunshine, as well as gorgeous views
of the water -- both the waves of the Atlantic crashing against the
shoreline as well as the Spanish River flowing by along the highway.
