Cocoa Beach Half Marathon & 10k

Cocoa Beach Half Marathon & 10k takes place in Cocoa Beach, Florida, in Brevard County, on November 15, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 6:45 AM and the 10K (6.2 miles) at 7:45 AM. Both courses run along the Atlantic, with stretches by the beach and along State Road A1A, and finish on I Dream of Jeannie Lane. Along the way you can see fishing boats and cruise ships, and sometimes porpoises and seabirds.

Live music, a commemorative cap, and a custom finisher's medal round out the event. The 10K suits runners stepping up from 5K or looking for a quick effort, while the half is a good late-fall goal for a PR attempt or a first 13.1. Build a 12-week block with a long run reaching 10 to 12 miles for the half, or 6 to 8 miles for the 10K. Online registration usually stays open until shortly before race day, with a limited number of in-person spots at packet pickup.
