Miami Welcomes All!

On any given day one can stroll down Ocean Drive in South Beach and bear witness to the multitudes of cultures that call Miami home. Hundreds of languages and dialects can be heard as people sit and converse over their meals.

Ocean Drive on race morning is no different, except that everyone is running instead. You’ll be running side by side to the many diverse cultures that make Miami what it is. Many say that Miami give us a snapshot of what true mixing of cultures can accomplish. It is here where all visitors are welcome because no matter where you are from you’ll most certainly have a friend from your hometown.
