The Health First Florida Marathon & 1/2 Marathon offers a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, Sunshine State Lager 10K, and 5K. The marathon has a 7-hour time limit, while half marathoners have 5 hours to complete their event. The half marathon, 10K, and 5K are all walker-friendly.

A very scenic route awaits participants, featuring four bridge crossings for the full marathon and two for the half marathon. The marathon course takes runners to the beachside barrier island and back to the mainland twice before concluding at the riverfront Front Street Park in downtown Melbourne. The event also boasts an atmosphere similar to a Rock-n-Roll marathon, with up to 12 musical acts along the course for the half and full marathons, and half a dozen on the routes of the 10K and 5K. The awards ceremony follows the races with a party featuring yet another live band.
