The annual dash for a spot in the 2026 Life Time Miami Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement has begun.
Registration for the 24th annual event opened Aug. 1 and a quick sellout of 18,500 runners is expected for the fifth consecutive year. The 2026 event will be run on Sunday, Jan. 25.
There is reason for runners interested in participating in the endurance test to execute their registration quickly, as the time before sellout continues to shrink. Registration for the 2025 event closed last Aug. 29, two weeks earlier than the previous record sellout date set in 2024 and seven weeks earlier than 2023. The waitlist last year peaked at more than 10,000 runners.
Yes, the Run Miami experience has become one of the most popular in the country with runners clamoring to experience stride-by-stride the majestic beauty of South Florida.
“It’s the hottest ticket in town,” said Frankie Ruiz, race co-founder and Life Time chief running officer. “Runners throughout the world have the Life Time Miami Marathon on their calendar. We are honored and thrilled with the enthusiasm that we see from runners who come back year-to-year to experience the special thrill of running Miami.”
A waitlist will again be activated this year after spots sell out. Participants representing all 50 states and nearly 70 countries will take on the USTAF-certified, Boston-qualifying, flat course that winds through Downtown Miami, Miami Beach and Coconut Grove and showcases the best views of Miami’s cityscape and waterways.
As part of the Miami Marathon & Half weekend, the Life Time Tropical 5K will return on Saturday, Jan. 24. Running from Watson Island to the southern tip of South Beach, the Tropical 5K is a great warmup for those running the Marathon or Half the following day. Registration for the Life Time Tropical 5K opened on Aug. 1.
