A scene near mile 1

August 19, 2021


Good afternoon, runners —

We are disappointed to announce that there will be no Cape Canaveral Lighthouse race this year or in 2022 due to both the ongoing uncertainties of the Covid-19 situation and increased launch activity on the space base.
Anyone entered in the planned 2020 event may transfer their entry to either the October 31 Cocoa Beach 10k or either the One Giant Leap 10k or Publix 1/2 Marathon at the February 13, 2022 Publix Florida Marathon Weekend in Melbourne.
Please contact support@thefloridamarathon.com to make the transfer.

We will try to host this race in 2023 but remain subject to approval of the U.S. Space Force.

Thank you for your support.

Join the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Foundation

The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse has been in service for 150 years, and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Foundation (CCLF) was formed to honor the beacon’s history and to keep it perpetually shining!

The CCLF assists the 45th Space Wing in preserving, protecting, and interpreting the lighthouse and its historical significance to Florida’s Space Coast, the State of Florida, and our Nation. With support of the community, the CCLF hopes to accomplish these goals, and more.
