About the 13.1 Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon
Long-running by Florida standards, this November race is the fall counterpart to the city's February marathon weekend and uses the same beachfront corridor. The predawn start is the defining logistical detail: packet pickup opens at 4:30 a.m. and the field is on course while it is still dark. A two-person relay option makes it a common first attempt at the distance for local clubs.
Course
The start and finish are at Las Olas Oceanside Park at Las Olas Boulevard and A1A. The route runs the beachfront on A1A and loops through the Harbor Beach neighborhood, staying flat apart from the intracoastal bridge approaches. Wind off the ocean is the main variable, and the out-and-back shape means whatever helps on one leg costs on the other.
Race-day weather
Early November in South Florida is still warm and humid. Even at 6:15 a.m. expect temperatures in the low 70s with high dew points, and direct sun on A1A for anyone running past about two hours.
