ING Miami Marathon
Sunday, January 29th 


The eyes of the world will be focused on the main event of the weekend - the ING Miami Marathon�. Friends, family and curious spectators will line up along the 26.2 miles of roadways filled with inspiring sights and sounds to cheer on the many that chose to RUN MIAMI!

Congratulations to our friend and world renowned artist Stephen Gamson on being the featured artist of the 2012 ING Miami Marathon. Stephen created the artwork for the ribbons being awarded to participants and the commemorative poster being distributed at the EXPO. There are a limited quantity of 1000 posters, be sure to get yours!

Volunteer!
 

Not everyone wants to run a marathon; some people prefer to cheer on the sidelines. With our new volunteer program, supporting the athletes just got easier. Sign up today to help (and cheer) on the race course or be waiting at the end to hand out finisher medals.
