USA Beach Running Championships Half Marathon

Sunday, November 22, 2020 • Cocoa Beach, FL • Course Map Runners will get a chance to run along the flat, sandy beaches here on what is known as Florida’s “Space Coast” — thanks to its location just down the beach from Cape Canaveral and NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center — at the annual spring U.S.A. Beach Running Championships, which will feature both the half marathon and 10K distances. Organized by a local running organization known as the Beach Running Association, which gathers trail and beach runners together for group runs in the Cocoa Beach area, the race will take runners on an out-and-back route along the beach that’s timed to coincide with low tide. The exact route of the course will be determined on the morning of the race, depending on the local conditions — though runners can expect that it will be roughly 6.55 miles out from the start, and 6.55 miles back. The 10K race is open to both runners and walkers — organizers say that you can either wear shoes or not, it’s totally your choice since you’ll be running on the beach — and medals will be given out to all finishers in the half marathon. The starting time for the race is 7:00 AM, and the race will start and finish at Shepard Park.
