READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Royal Palm Beach in December — with an average temperature of 22°C, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold for running.

However, the sun becomes stronger toward midday, so all you need is one light outer layer to remove before the start.

Public transportation does not reach the venue.

A personal or rental car is the only practical option.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

Full marathon really begins after 30 km.

Running the first half 5–10 seconds slower than your target pace helps you hold on late, and start taking gels early, before you feel hungry.

The start is at 08:00. Registration is open through December 12, 2026.

Times are local to Royal Palm Beach. Check the latest official information before the race.
