Shark Bite Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool temps, headwind early
Runners will face temperatures starting at 59°F and reaching 62°F by the end. A headwind in the first two miles will challenge pacing, so a conservative start is advised. With average humidity at 70%, hydration should be prioritized throughout the race. The course is flat, but crosswinds from miles 3-7 and 9-14 may require adjustments in form and focus.

Race Info
The Shark Bite Half Marathon runs each January in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, as the Sunday half of a two-day race weekend that also includes a Saturday 5K called the Feeding Frenzy. The half marathon starts near the Flagler Avenue beach approach on Buenos Aires Street and follows a certified road course, crossing the Indian River causeway before returning through the historic Canal Street and Flagler Avenue districts. Runners can combine the Saturday 5K and Sunday half into a Half Marathon Challenge. Red Pointer Productions organizes and times the race.
