Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon 2026

On Sunday 22 November 2026 the Space Coast Marathon and Half Marathon start in the historic Cocoa Village and finish along the river in Cocoa Riverfront Park, in the area the organiser describes as the shadow of the Kennedy Space Center.

The marathon starts at 6 a.m. and the half marathon at 6:15, on Harrison Street just north of Cocoa Riverfront Park. Both courses are USATF certified, and the organiser describes them as partially shaded and mostly flat, following the waterfront of the Indian River.

The marathon goes north along Indian River Drive to a turnaround, comes back towards Cocoa Village and then continues south along the river on the half marathon course. The half marathon heads south on Rockledge Drive to its own turnaround and returns to Harrison Street and the park. The course stays open until 1 p.m., which gives 7 hours for the marathon and 6 hours 45 minutes for the half.

Entry was 145 dollars for the marathon and 135 for the half, and both in-person races for 2026 are full with the waiting list closed. Finishers receive what the organiser calls an astronomical finisher medal, and 3 year and 4 year challenge medals belong to its New Frontiers series. Packet pickup is at Running Zone during the week and at the expo on Saturday, which closes at 5 p.m. The race is hosted by the Running Zone Foundation and Space Coast Runners.

A person taking part can choose to share their own live position on Livebib from their phone, so friends and family can follow them on the map. This is not the organiser's timing, and official results come from the organiser.
