Running next to an active (and busy) runway was quite the thrill! I was hoping to see a plane or two, but during the race, I must have seen at least 7 or 8 take off or land. And it only got busier after I finished. Obviously, there is no shade on a runway, but the race started just before sunrise, and if you were able to finish quickly enough, the sun wasn’t much of a factor. Otherwise, it got a little warm which is why I gave the course difficulty a 2. Didn’t use the water stations, but there was one of them that served two different points in the race.
The medal was very nice, and so was the technical t-shirt. Unfortunately, the t-shirt ran large and doesn’t fit me, which is a bummer.
Organization was good. There was an American Airline 787 (big plane) right there in the main gathering area. It was great for pictures.
I highly recommend this race. The experience is like no other race.

Great start.vl Very well organized. Each corral had their own starting air horn, lights and flares when it was their time to start. The course? Simply beautiful. For a big city marathon, you can’t ask for better views and scenery. Water stations were fully stocked and staffed. Felt at ease seeing how many aid stations and Porta potties there were. Great entertainment and great crowds cheering you on for almost the entire length of the course. Between that and the scenery, it was hard to be bored, even running for nearly 4 hours. The finisher metal is gorgeous and the after party at Bayfront Park was awesome. The only downside is the temp/humidity. Although the course is mostly flat (although there were a few more hills than I remember in Miami, and I’m from there), running a PB will likely be tough in what appears to be the norm temp wise for this race (was like 70 with 91% humidity to start and got up to 76 by the time I finished). This was my first marathon, and it definitely won’t be my last one, or my last one in Miami.
