About the Life Time Miami Marathon
Miami is a large winter marathon with a course built around the city's waterfront identity. It is flat enough for goal running, but the race asks runners to handle humidity, bridges, and a busy urban setting.
Course
The marathon is a flat single-loop course with waterfront stretches, bridge crossings, Miami Beach sections, and a Bayfront Park finish. The bridges add small rhythm changes without making it hilly.
Race-day weather
January in Miami can still feel humid and warm for marathon racing. Runners should treat hydration and early pacing as part of the race plan, not an afterthought.
