Liquid Youth 13.1 Fort Lauderdale Running Festival

Liquid Youth 13.1 Fort Lauderdale Running Festival is held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 8, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) and the half marathon relay start at 6:15 a.m., followed by the 10K and the 5K at 7 a.m. The event runs on professional timing with live results, and every entrant gets a technical shirt and a medal.

An event built around several distances at once suits a group with mixed goals, and the relay is a good option if you want a piece of the half without covering all of it. For the full 13.1 miles, a 12-week block with a weekly long run reaching 10 or 11 miles is the standard route in. The very early start means you should test your breakfast timing in training. Free race photos and a post-race reception with refreshments for entrants over 21 wrap the morning up, and awards go to the leading finishers.
