The races kick off on Saturday with the Florida Today 5k & 8k and Dunkin Dash Kids Run, with at least six musical acts on the race course and post race party with live music. Going into its sixth year, the Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend is East Central Florida’s premiere distance event and one of the most environmentally sustainable races in the southeast.
