The one & only 13-miler in gorgeous Manatee County. A Hernando DeSoto Historical Society Signature Event.The fun kicks off at 6:30am in downtown Bradenton. As the course proceeds to Manatee Avenue, the Green Bridge challenge begins. Run over the mile-wide Manatee River, through historic Palmetto then back over the bridge. Continue along Bradenton's main thoroughfare before turning onto Riverview Boulevard to gape at the stately waterfront homes. A couple more turns until you finish in downtown Bradenton, just before the start of the Farmer’s Market!
Post-race hospitality will be top notch, complete with massages (10 minutes folks, we’ve got a lot of people to rub down!), craft beer and recovery fuel (i.e. tasty food). So, START TRAINING and GET SIGNED UP ASAP! Be a part of the 2nd Annual Conquistador Half Marathon (formerly the Bradenton Area Half Marathon)!!! We are looking forward to seeing you out here!
