Rapid sellout expected for the January 28, 2024 Event
MIAMI (August 1, 2023) – Registration is open for the 22nd edition of the world-renowned Life Time Miami Marathon And Half, which is set for Sunday, January 28, 2024.
With a cap of 18,000 runners for the half and full marathon distances, a fast sellout is anticipated for the third consecutive year.
While the Marathon expanded from 15,000 to 18,000 runners in 2023, the waitlist swelled to more than 7,000 runners for the highly celebrated destination race that attracts participants from all 50 states and more than 70 countries. A waitlist lottery will once again be established once the 18,000-runner limit is reached.
“We greatly treasure the incredible passion and anticipation for our event,” said Frankie Ruiz, co-founder of the Miami Marathon and Chief Running Officer at Life Time. “The vibrant spirit of running Miami has become an essential part of the running lifestyle for both those who live in our community and others who travel great distances for the Miami Famous experience. There are not many places in the world where you can run on scenic streets in a tropical paradise. It’s an incredible day that continues to be the party of the year.”
Participants will take on the USTAF-certified and Boston-qualifying flat course which showcases the best views of Miami’s cityscape and waterways. As one of the most internationally friendly events in the industry, Life Time personalizes the race bib of each runner with their home country’s flag. Miami Marathon And Half Finisher Medals are among the most creative and coveted in the running spectrum.
The Life Time Miami Marathon And Half, with the support of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, serves as one component of a broader Healthy Way of Life mission in the South Florida area, which also includes its premium athletic country clubs Life Time Coral Gables, which opened in 2021, Life Time Palm Beach Gardens, which opened in 2022, and the new Life Time Miami at The Falls, which opens August 4.
