Bound for Boston Marathon and Half Marathon - Sarasota
The Bound for Boston Marathon and Half Marathon takes place at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. This event is specifically designed for participants seeking a fast course to achieve personal records or qualifying times. The race follows a 1-mile loop layout described as very flat.
The event offers the following distances:
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- Virtual Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Virtual Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
The full marathon course is USATF certified, serving as an official Boston Qualifier. To ensure a focused environment, registration is limited to a total of 75 participants. Aid stations provide water and electrolyte drinks, and runners may bring personalized nutrition to place on the tables for access during each loop. There is also an option for a cheer crew to support runners on-site with noise makers.
Participants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal. Awards are presented for both distances in standard five-year age group categories. Virtual participants can complete their distance at any location but must submit their times by the end of the race day to receive their shipped shirt and medal.
