Sarasota Marathon
Course Information:
The 3rd Annual ABC 7 Sarasota Marathon is a flat, fast and a scenic race. Our start and finish will be at the historic and cultural John and Mable Ringling Museum. This out and back course will run along some of Sarasota's most popular sights: the Ringling Museum, the Bay Shore Neighborhoods, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Centennial Park, The Van Wezel, Bayfront Park & Marina and the Season of Sculpture, Selby Gardens, Southside Village, St. Armand's Circle, Lido Beach, Mote Marine Labratory, and Ken Thompson Park on City Island. A large portion of the route follows the water front. It is a run with a view!
For participant, volunteer and spectator safety, NO STROLLERS, SKATES, SKATEBOARDS, PETS, OR HEADPHONES will be permitted on the course. In only two years, this event has become a "runaway" success, growing from a modest 1500 runners in 2006 to over 2200 runners from 39 different states and 10 countries in 2007! More than 500 volunteers and countless Sarasota residents turn out to support the runners and to line the picturesque streets and Ringling Bridge to cheer. The Sarasota Marathon, a Boston Marathon-qualifier, has placed our city on the prestigious list of cities boasting a world-class marathon. More importantly, the Sarasota Marathon has donated $75,000 to local charities in its first two years.
