THE ING MIAMI COURSE

 

Being raised in Miami, when I saw the course I was immediately excited about running through the beautiful cities, bridges and sites.  It's defintely a good distraction!  Check out the map and tour info for yourselves below.  Now,  I just have to get over not being able to take a camera with me!  LOL

 

YOU ARE INVITED!  For those of you who have asked, yes you can come and cheer me on from the side lines and wait for me at the finish line!  I would actually love to see you there. Your support means the world!  There's more info on that on ING's website and through this link.

 

 

Everything in here is taken from ING's website.  I tried to get the most important info, but if you are interested in more info, go directly to their website here.

 

 The Start Line:

The 13.1 mile course starts and finishes in the same general area. The race will start heading north in front of the American Airlines Arena (official home of the Miami Heat). The half and full marathons start at the same start line and at the same time.
 "...The first predawn mile along the MacArthur Causeway brought views of the cruise ships. As the sun rose on Ocean Drive, the horizon glowed in cockatoo-and flamingo-feathered hues. Sailboats bobbed in the waters off the Venetian Causeway…"

 The Finish Line:

Runners will finish heading north adjacent to Bayfront Park
which is located only 4 blocks south of the start line.
