About Marathon

Marathon, with nearly 10,000 residents, encompasses many of the islands in the Florida Keys. Incorporated in 1999, it is a relatively new city and was named for railroad workers who complained that their long hours felt like a marathon. This region enjoys a tropical climate, which is hot and humid in the summer and warm and dry in the winter. Marathon is a magnet for sport fishing, boating, adventure sports, and more. With 2,400 slips for boats, Marathon is an exceptionally marine-friendly destination. You and your family are sure to love the warm sun, sandy beaches, and opportunities for adventure in this Florida Keys city!
