Event overview
Ocean's 26.2 Relay Race and 6k Run and Ruck is scheduled for January 3, 2026 in Palm Coast, Florida. The event is based at the Hammock Community Center, 79 Mala Compra Rd. It offers team relays and individual options, with the following distances:
- 26.2 miles relay or solo marathon
- 6k run
- 6k ruck
Registration closes on Fri, Jan 2, 2026.
Course, format and categories
The main race uses a three-loop course that starts, ends and exchanges in the same location. The Atlantic Ocean runs nearby during the course. The 6k follows the Mala Compra Trails and measures about 3.7 miles; most of that course is on hard packed trail and boardwalk, with some sidewalk along A1A and Mala Compra Rd. 6k participants run the second loop once. The solo marathon follows the same loops in order and has a 6.5 hour cutoff.
Teams are for two or three people and may be all runners or include ruckers. Team categories are Male, Female and Coed; the ruck relay uses the same categories. Each team must have a designated captain who registers and pays for the full team before inviting members to register.
Awards and partners
6k runners and walkers receive a custom beanie, a finishers medal and food at the finish. Awards are planned for top finishers in team and 6k categories, and a random rucker prize is listed. The event partners with the Sombrero Outreach Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
