Directions & Parking

The start/finish line at North Shore Park is easily accessible at St. Petersburg’s waterfront, just north of the Vinoy Resort! If you need to Google or GPS North Shore Park, please use 901 N Shore Dr. NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701 as the address.

There is limited parking next to the race start line – this is for the exclusive use of Marathoners, who will receive a parking permit by email. The entrance to this parking lot is from North Shore Drive NE and will close promptly at 5:45 a.m. You will not be able to leave until 10:00 a.m. at the earliest since the road will be closed for the race.

There are numerous parking spots in the residential area immediately west of the start line at North Shore Dr. NE, but please be aware of parking restrictions and read the signs. If possible, we encourage all athletes to carpool or be dropped off.

City officials have requested that our athletes park at the Sundial Parking Lot at 117 2nd Street North. The parking lot is within walking distance of the start line (.9 mile) and is open 24/7.
