Marathon Route in the Works for Town of Palm Beach

Who doesn’t love a fun run in the beautiful Town of Palm Beach? Better yet, a marathon in the Palm Beaches. This event is in the works.

If you ran in the 2017 Palm Beach Marathon, another marathon could be coming soon. If you’re a runner, get ready for some additional opportunities.

Ken Kennerly, who owns the Palm Beach Marathons, will appear in front of the Palm Beach Town Council on August 15 to ask to hold another marathon, according to Palm Beach Daily News.

Kennerly needs to get an approved route in order for this to happen again. Certain permits are required for marathons as well as police officers standing guard during events. All of this cost the Town of Palm Beach money.

According to the marathon’s website, they emphasize they want the marathon to be “locally owned.” This is why the Palm Beach Marathon, LLC was formed. Last year, a marathon was held where members of the Palm Beach community ran along Flagler drive.
