Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon & Half Marathon

Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon & Half Marathon runs in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on February 13-14, 2027. The 5K opens the weekend on Saturday, and the marathon (26.2 miles), the half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 6K follow on Sunday. The route is flat and fast, lined with palms and open ocean views, starting in downtown Fort Lauderdale and finishing along the A1A oceanfront. Live music plays on course, and a beach party with food, beer and entertainment waits at the finish.

Flat, at sea level and certified as a Boston qualifier, the marathon is built for a time goal, whether that means a first finish or a BQ; a 16-week build with a weekly long run and sustained marathon-pace work will get you ready. The half and the 6K ask far less of your calendar, and the Saturday 5K makes a double possible. Finishers receive a technical shirt and a custom beach-themed medal, with age-group awards in five-year brackets.
