About the Miami Marathon
The Miami Marathon is Florida's elite distance race with 25,000 runners
representing all 50 states and over 105 countries converging on Miami and
South Beach to experience one of the most unique courses in the world. The
race has come a long way since 3,400 runners participated in the first
Miami Marathon in 2003. Participants include elite runners, top age-group
competitors, and many thousands who run for charity and to achieve their
own personal goals. Together they enjoy the tropical views and the sounds
of South Florida, with a diverse array of entertainment blended into the
