Finishing a half marathon is more than a personal achievement. It’s also a great testament to the support team of every runner. Family and friends are encouraged to cheer the participants from all sections of the Daytona Beach Half Marathon course.

Spectators are welcome to watch the beginning and end of the Daytona Beach Half Marathon at Daytona International Speedway. There is no charge to enter the track. Please enter the Speedway at Gate 40, located off of Williamson Drive, and follow the signs to race-day parking. Viewing is available trackside in the grassy area in the tri-oval. Spectators may bring lawn chairs or stand along the finish line chute. Family and friends are also welcome to attend the awards ceremony in Gatorade Victory Lane at 10:00 a.m.

Driving directions are available by clicking on the EXPO/PACKET PICK UP tab to the left.

We need you to help cheer on the runners in designated scream sections.

VISITING

Daytona Beach is one of Florida’s premier destinations.  With 23 miles of sparkling, white beaches, great weather, and variety of attractions, museums, eateries and more, it’s perfect for family vacations and running excursions alike.

Our community has hundreds of hotels, condominiums, cottages and Bed and Breakfast inns, so there’s something to fit your taste and budget.

The beaches are consistently named among Florida's best by the most knowledgeable professional 'beachologists' – as well as by Florida residents!  In fact, Florida Monthly magazine readers regularly name our beaches as some of the state's best.

Be sure to bring your friends and family, and come in a couple of days prior to the race, to allow yourself plenty of time to explore the Daytona Beach area and all it has to offer.  Between our festivals, art shows, concerts, races and other activities, there’s always a lot going on.  For a schedule of activities, click here.
