WHAT TO EXPECT
Sign up for the Sarasota Half Marathon & 5k run in Sarasota, Florida at Nathan Benderson Park and experience one of the most picturesque and challenging runs in the state. The course takes you through the beautiful Nathan Benderson Park, an award-winning park that features a 400-acre lake, and a world-class rowing facility. You'll finish in front of the iconic scoring tower.  Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event has something to offer for everyone with both Half marathon and 5k options.

But the fun doesn't stop when you cross the finish line! Sarasota, a city known for its stunning beaches, vibrant cultural scene and a bustling downtown, has plenty of things to do and see. After the race, treat yourself to a well-deserved meal at one of the many seafood restaurants, and explore the city's art scene by visiting one of the many galleries or the famous Ringling Museum. Take a stroll on the beach, and enjoy the tranquil Gulf waters or head over to the St. Armands Circle to enjoy the shopping, dining and entertainment.


Sarasota is also a great place for outdoor activities, with opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. And if you're looking for something different, you can also visit the nearby Myakka River State Park for some of the best bird-watching in the state. Sign up for the Sarasota Half Marathon & 5k run and you'll experience the best of both worlds: a challenging and rewarding run, and an unforgettable adventure in one of the most beautiful places in the state.
