Space Coast Marathon 2026: answer first
The Space Coast Marathon is Sunday, November 22, 2026, with a 6:00 a.m. marathon start and a 6:15 half-marathon start. The official information places the start in Cocoa Village and the finish at Cocoa Riverfront Park, and describes the waterfront route as USATF certified.
Rehearse the early wake-up, breakfast, transport, and warm-up sequence before race week. Waterfront exposure can change effort, so pair course information with the live forecast rather than assuming the certification or Florida location predicts conditions.
Confirm parking or shuttle instructions, collection, corrals, current map, aid products, bags, cutoffs, and medical rules in the final participant guide.
Stop and seek appropriate care for severe symptoms or pain that changes gait. A fast opening created by cool darkness or excitement can still compromise the second half.
