The Florida Marathon takes place on Sunday, February 7, 2027, in Melbourne on Florida's Space Coast, and the marathon starts at 6:00 am. It is run as the Health First Florida Marathon, with Health First as title sponsor, and the start and finish areas are near Riverside Front Street Park in downtown Melbourne. The marathon is a looping course that follows the half marathon route, with four 5-mile straightaways, crossings of the Melbourne Causeway and a turnaround in Ballard Park at about mile 4. Up to 12 musical acts perform along the half and full marathon courses. The organizers call it one of Florida's top Boston Marathon qualifying races. It has a 7-hour time limit, pacers and 16 aid and water stations. The race is held about a month after the Disney Marathon.
