What is the ING Miami Marathon?

The ING Miami Marathon takes place on Sunday, January 27, 2008. The course will take you through some of Miami’s most famous neighborhoods, with spectacular views of both its world-renowned beaches and its exquisite art deco architecture. The soothing breezes and flat, clean streets of the city will most certainly set the stage for personal record times; the marathon is USATF & IAAF sanctioned and certified. Who could ask for a better location for the ultimate marathon experience?

What is the Los Angeles Marathon?

The Los Angeles Marathon takes place on Sunday, March 2, 2008.  It has been said that the best marathons reflect the character of a city, and such is the case with this race.  Though the course has been modified through the years to make it flatter and faster, it has always run right through the multicultural heart of the city, from the historic districts of Leimert Park and Crenshaw, to the lavish streets of Hancock Park, to the awe-inspiring hire rise corridors of downtown L.A., where the race starts and finishes.  You will see L.A. as you’ve never seen it before, and there is no better way to discover it than on foot.

*Race Length Options:

° Full Marathon (26.2 miles)

° No Marathon (you do not actually run; you just come along for the fundraising and fun!)
