2013 Miami Half Marathon® Medals & Awards

ALL finishers will receive the most unique finisher's medal ever designed for runners.

Please note: To our knowledge, the Miami Marathon® was the first race in the world to have a spinning medal. It is now the first to have a double spinner. The spinning medal idea originated at our race in 2004.

*Please not that all age group awards are based on B-Tag time, NOT gun time. Course records and prize money will be determined according to gun time.
