The 7th Annual Tomoka Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K, will take place in Ormond Beach, FL on Saturday, March 21st, 2020.   This race includes the full marathon, half marathon, and a 5K run/walk.  The full marathon is a certified as a Boston Qualifier.   This year we will also be adding a Ruck division to the half marathon.  The one-of-a-kind route takes runners through natural and historic Florida on a beautiful course which includes the Tomoka State Park and Intracoastal Waterway vistas.

The marathon route, affectionately known as “The Tomoka Loop”, has appeal for locals and travellers alike to enjoy some of the most diverse natural “Old Florida” scenery remaining. The views are a panoramas of rivers, inland creeks, marshes, barrier island dunes and beach, as well as historic sites. “The Tomoka Loop” is designated as one of Florida’s Scenic Highways and runners will quickly see why it earned this distinction as they experience the natural beauty of the area from beginning to end.

The start and finish area for all events will be at The Casements, which is the historic former winter home of John D. Rockefeller. The post race party will be held in the beautiful Rockefeller Gardens on the Halifax River and features complimentary food, drinks and beer for participants.
