Runners follow an out-and-back route along the coast of Florida’s Gulf Islands National Seashore at the Gulf Coast Half Marathon, which starts at the Casino Beach Boardwalk and finishes at the nearby Santa Rosa Island Authority building on Via DeLuna Drive. In between the start and the finish, runners will have views of the ocean for most of the race, which takes them along Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island.
