    Fantastic race and a great way to see Miami. Perfect for a vacation destination race.
    Gorgeous views, big race feel and well run.
    If you stay in Fort Lauderdale or palm beach, generally they run the train for you to take down as well which is great! So helpful.
    Scenery is gorgeous, expo is the best with tons of samples and lots to do, post race party is great. The park can get a bit crowded after the race but we always just find a quiet spot out of the way to relax a bit and enjoy the fun.
    The half has tons of people running so you’re never alone but also not dodging anyone.
    Lots of port a potties and aid stations too!

    The Brightline train will bring you within walking distance to the start line! I always take the train (it’s early!). Downtown FTL is great and near the train. The suburbs are also nice (plantation, sunrise, etc) but it would be a slightly further Uber to the train early in the morning. Not far at all, but further west. I like downtown as you can easily get to the train but also the beaches and shops for the rest of your stay! LESS

    This races is fantastic and the organizers always do a great job. Miami weather at this time of the year is just ideal for a marathon. The energy from the other runners and people waiving at you throughout the course doesn’t have comparisons.

    There is a lot of good to say about the Miami Marathon/Half Marathon. This is a beautiful course. The race communication was great. The expo was well produced. The aid and port o potties were i abundance. The crowds were lively and finish line snacks were abundant. The medal was gorgeous (the shirt was ok). However this race is just too big for itself. The fact that there are too many participants unfortunately has an effect on the overall enjoyment of the race. Basically you start the race vacuum sealed into the starting corrals and you end the race crammed into parts of the finish festival. These two facts leave a bad set of book ends to a person’s impression of the race. So either the race needs to find a larger area for the race production or the participants need to be restricted.

    First full-marathon ever in my life and I just LOVED IT!!! Everything was just smooth: every mile you can count on soft drinks and medical stations, portable WCs and the crowd cheering and aiding. The finisher medal is just mind-blowing, the hughest I earned. Almost all the race is at sea level and the ups and downs are given by the bridges only: I strongly recommend this race if you intend to run your first 26.2 miles or 42.195 Km.

    This is an excellent race for a PR. The course is flat and fast, with the hills being bridges over the Water.

    The race starts early before the sunrise, and the Corral Arrangement is a mess, people bunching up trying to get into their assigned Corrals before the Race, I never seen a race start line manage the Corral Start so poorly. The early start spares you from running in the heat, but that also means less crowd support with people still asleep, but still good crowd support, even on the Bridges over Biscayne Bay. Scenry is great ranging from the high rises in Miami and Miami Beach, to running along the water and the various bridges, to the Palm Trees that line the streets.

    The challenge in this city is the Weather, with the heat and humidity of South Florida. Was hash running in Vizcaya area with the sun bearing down. Going accross the Miami River on Miami Ave Bridge at the end is the last challenge before aproaching the finish line.

    Excellent post race experience, plenty of food with respect to dietary restrictions, Bayfront Park is excellent area for Post Race Photos. Deffinetly a Race worth doing again.

    Fue mi primera carrera internacional, pero con certeza no será la única. Me sentí como en casa, el idioma es uno solo “correr”, el calor de la gente, la energía de los espectadores, la impecable organización, etc. hacen que sea una experiencia única. A pesar de que tuve que caminar un par de millas, logré el objetivo de cruzar la tan anhelada meta. Como aspecto a mejorar, la Expo, me pareció algo desorganizada. Por lo demás, seré una embajadora con todos los que disfrutan esta actividad y los que necesitan esa primera motivación para calzar unas zapatillas y desgastarlas con gusto en el pavimento. Gracias por convocar a tantos inquietos que amamos la vida.
