Come January 28, all eyes will be on the main event - the Miami Marathon & Half Marathon. Come out and explore all the wonderful things that make Miami famous. The Miami Marathon & Half Marathon takes you through the streets of Miami starting in front of the Miami Heat arena, to scenic Miami Beach, through the Wynwood art district and back to mainland Miami for a grand finish in the lovely downtown bay area.

Every year, we pay tribute to the star of the show — the course. Runners count on the course to pull them through each mile, and every year this route doesn’t let them down. Mile after mile, the beautiful views help propel runners to the finish line. Be on the lookout for sights that you might recognize from a hit TV show or movie - many of those hot spots are actually part of this incredible course!

Friends, family and curious spectators will fill the roadways with inspiring sights and sounds to cheer on the many that choose to RUN MIAMI! Register today to ensure your #MiamiFamous moment as we kick off 2018 with this spectacular event. It's #NotMiamiWithoutYou!

James Penneys's thoughts:

This was my first marathon in 2015. I also ran it in 2016 and 2019. I want to love it, being my first, but my experience has gotten worse each time. This is a big city race. 25,000 + runners. It can take up to 40 minutes to start the race, depending on which corral you are in. The crowd support is minimal. Most of the spectators are police, who are blocking traffic. They do a great job protecting runners from Miami's crazy drivers. They put the expo in a very "HIP" neighborhood where parking is a mess and the facility is too small. It should not be stressful to get your runners bag.
I hope the Lifetime owners don't let this race continue to deteriorate. Being my home race, I would love to run it every year.
