Overview The Marathon of the Treasure Coast is a USATF-certified, Boston-qualifying marathon that starts at Memorial Park in downtown Stuart, Florida, and runs 26.2 miles through Stuart, Jensen Beach, Hutchinson Island and Sewall's Point, with the St. Lucie River in view along the way. The same morning carries a half marathon and a relay for teams of two to four, and both distances can also be run as a virtual race from anywhere. Game On! Race Events puts it on with Publix as presenting partner, and the race's own sponsor page calls it the largest competitive endurance event on the Treasure Coast. On site The weekend opens on Saturday with a runner expo at Memorial Park, where packet pick-up sits alongside vendor displays from health care, sports medicine, nutrition, wellness and fitness-gear businesses and tables for the race's charities. On Sunday the marathon goes off at 6 a.m. and the half at 6:15. Aid stations and volunteer support stay out on a seven-hour marathon pace, until 1 p.m., and strollers and pets are kept off the full course. Finishers come back into a Race Village with entertainment, a medal, a race shirt and a swag bag. Audience The field mixes local runners with people who travel for a Boston qualifier. The race's sponsor page, written for the 2026 edition, counts participants from 31 states and 14 countries the year before, and says the expo draws more than 1,000 visitors on the Saturday. The race runs pace group leaders and pitches its mix of distances at first-timers as well as seasoned marathoners. Track record The race keeps an archive of its finisher medals going back to 2014. By its fifth year it had raised more than $85,000 for its official charities. The race's official charities are local to Martin County and the Treasure Coast, among them the ARC of Martin County, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Martin County, Girls on the Run of the Treasure Coast, the Florida Oceanographic Society and Nala's New Life Rescue. Brand presence The top partner is named as the Signature Sponsor of the marathon, with feather banner flags on site, signage at the music stage and first position on the race shirt. Below it, partners are carried on the mile markers and directional signs out on the course, on the start and finish line, in announcements through the weekend and in the race's social media, print ads and posters. Every level can put an item in the runners' goodie bags and take a tent-and-table booth at the expo, and race entries come with most levels.
