Shark Bite Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Mild temps, headwinds early
Runners will face temperatures starting at 59°F and peaking at 66°F, with humidity around 70%. A headwind in the first two miles will require a conservative effort, while crosswinds from miles 3 to 7 may challenge pacing. As the race progresses, the tailwind at mile 8 will offer a brief advantage. Hydration should be prioritized due to the humidity, especially in the later miles.

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.
