What are my distance options and when do they start?

The event is structured in waves to manage the small-group format, starting at 7:30 AM and running through 10:30 AM. You can choose between the 1 Mile Family Fun Run, 5K, 10K, or the 13.1-mile Half Marathon. If you are a serious distance runner, the Half Marathon is the flagship, but since this is a community run, the 5K or 10K will likely offer the most vibrant atmosphere.

What should I expect from the weather in June?

Prepare for humidity. Running in South Florida in early June means you'll likely face temperatures climbing quickly into the high 80s (30°C+) with significant moisture in the air. Stick to lightweight, moisture-wicking gear and don't be surprised if the tropical sun feels heavy by the time the later waves finish.

What do I get for finishing the race?

The "swag" is decent for a community event: you'll receive a finisher medal, a running T-shirt (shipped within the US), and a finisher towel or giveaway. You also get a digital training pack and a certificate via Thebestraces ↗. If you want a higher quality shirt, there is a technical upgrade option for an extra $5.

How is the race organized on the day?

This is not a massive, closed-course metropolitan marathon. It is a coordinated, relaxed run through the Playita area. Because there is no official chip timing, you'll need to rely on your own GPS watch or phone to track your pace. The exact course map is kept under wraps and emailed to participants mid-week, which suggests a more fluid, perhaps less "sanitized" route than a major city race.

How do I get to the start line?

You’ll want to fly into Miami International (MIA). From there, getting to Key Biscayne is straightforward but can be a bottleneck depending on traffic. Since this is a small-scale event, don't expect massive race-day infrastructure; plan to arrive early to find your wave and settle in.
