The 4th Annual ABC 7 Sarasota Marathon is a flat, fast and a scenic race. Our start and finish will be at the historic and cultural John and Mable Ringling Museum. This out and back course will run along some of Sarasota's most popular sights: the Ringling Museum, the Bay Shore Neighborhoods, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Centennial Park, The Van Wezel, Bayfront Park & Marina and the Season of Sculpture, Selby Gardens, Southside Village, St. Armand's Circle, Lido Beach, Mote Marine Labratory, and Ken Thompson Park on City Island. A large portion of the route follows the water front. It is a run with a view!
