Miami Welcomes All!

On any given day one can stroll down Ocean Drive in South Beach and bear witness to the multitudes of cultures that call Miami home. Hundreds of languages and dialects can be heard as people sit and converse over their meals.

Ocean Drive on race morning is no different, except that everyone is running instead. You’ll be running side by side to the many diverse cultures that make Miami what it is. Many say that Miami gives us a snapshot of what true mixing of cultures can accomplish. It is here where all visitors are welcome because no matter where you are from you’ll most certainly have a friend from your hometown.

Runners from all 50 States, including Puerto Rico, and runners from over 50 countries ran in 2010, for 2011 we expect the field to be even more diverse. Below is a list of the countries represented at the 2010 ING Miami Marathon and Half Marathon®:
