Bradenton Riverwalk Half Marathon 10k 5k

Bradenton Riverwalk Half Marathon 10k 5k is run along the Riverwalk in Bradenton, Florida on February 28, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m., the 10K at 7:45 a.m. and the 5K at 8:00 a.m. The route crosses the Green Bridge and heads toward the Palmetto fishing pier, a calm stretch of waterfront running. The event is set up both for competitive athletes going after personal bests and for those who mostly want the company of other runners.

Waterfront road courses in Florida in late February usually mean cool air and flat ground, a combination that favors even pacing. For the half, aim for a 12-week build with a long run reaching 11 or 12 miles and two runs at goal pace in the final month. The staggered starts keep the earlier finishers out of the way of the shorter races.
