Average Temperature

While March means snow, wind and temperature in the 30’s across most of America, the shorelines of Miami and Miami Beach weather in the low 60’s and 70’s. So enjoy the beauty of the scenery at MARATHON THIRTEEN.ONE™ Miami and soak up the cool temps and blue skies before and after you run!

Mile Markers & Split Times

Each mile marker will have a large display clock that will indicate the running time of the event. These display clocks will show the time from the official start of the race, not your personal “tag time”. A system has been developed to display the mile marker sign, clock and colored warning flag. As you go by each mile, you will see an information station providing you with the status of the race. As you look at this station, you will know where you are on the course, the official race time and race conditions.

There will be water and Gatorade (Gatorade Endurance Formula) stations along the course and at the start/finish. All Aid Stations on the course will have personnel and portable toilets located nearby.
