Set for its 12th annual running here along the shores of South Florida’s Stuart, the Marathon of the Treasure Coast unfolds just a short drive from nearby Port St. Lucie and takes runners through this stretch of the “Treasure Coast,” named for the ships carrying treasure that ran aground here in the 17th century thanks to the plentiful coral reefs just off the coast.
Runners can choose from a full marathon, half marathon or the full marathon relay, which is open to teams of 2 to 4 runners each. Both races will follow out-and-back courses that start and finish in Stuart, Florida’s Memorial Park, and unfolds along the heart of Stuart.
