Daytona 100 is a point-to-point road race along Florida S.R. A1A–the ocean road–from Jacksonville Beach to Ponce Inlet, just south of Daytona Beach. 100-mile, 50-mile and 50-kilometer individual distances are offered as well as a 6-person 100-mile team relay race. Daytona 100 finishes at the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse at the southernmost point of the barrier island. The ocean views are quite spectacular and the route–and the weather–are conducive to fast PRs!
The DAYTONA 100 course spans over a dozen cities, four counties, and stretching south for 100 miles from Jacksonville Beach south to Ponce Inlet, a secluded beach town located on the southern tip of the peninsula, just 10 miles south of Daytona Beach.
From the eclectic feel of Jacksonville, Neptune and Atlantic Beaches, through the upscale communities of Ponte Vedra / Palm Valley, and into America’s First City, St. Augustine, the first 36 miles of the DAYTONA 100 offer unparalleled views of the ocean, multi-million dollar estates and a large dose of history.
The “middle section” of the course–from St. Augustine to Flagler Beach–features some true laid-back “Florida” beach towns, including St. Augustine Beach and the beaches of the Palm Coast. It also features the luxe community of Hammock Beach.
Finally, the last 33 miles of the course pass you through Flagler Beach and Ormond Beach on your way to the finish. You will run through Daytona Beach and Daytona Beach Shores, then reach Ponce Inlet and the finish line at world-famous Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. You will enter Davies Park at the foot of the lighthouse–also the location of the Ponce Inlet Veterans Memorial–and begin celebrating your success at the finish line arch near the park pavilion.

Aid stations were unsanitary. No utensils to serve the food. Aid food was mediocre. Both drop bags never returned to finish line. A friends bag never made it to drop location so ran ran without headlights and reflectors. Belt buckle was downgraded to a cheap plastic design.
