The course
Where it goes
loop · 2 aid stations
An add-on for runners finishing the Miami 100: cross the finish line and immediately keep going for another 30 miles, no break, named in honor of Miami's 130th year. Starting the Miami 130 Challenge requires finishing the Miami 100 within its 32-hour cutoff; the 130 itself runs on a 40-hour clock from the same 5:00 am start. Finishers receive a Miami 130 buckle in addition to the Miami 100 finisher's buckle.
The race
What this one is
An open-road urban ultramarathon through Miami, Florida, starting and finishing at Hero Martial Arts in Palmetto Bay. Runners cover 100 miles through neighborhoods like Wynwood, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Calle Ocho, Coconut Grove and Brickell, on sidewalks and pedestrian paths alongside active traffic. There is no course map beforehand: runners follow turn-by-turn directional cards handed out at manned checkpoints roughly every 15 to 20 miles, and rely on their own crew rather than aid stations. A Miami 100 finish is now an official preferred qualifier for the Badwater 135.

What you know
every one of these is read by a person before it changes anything
Ran this race? Tell the next runner what you know.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
See something wrong or out of date? Suggest an edit.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Seen a course preview or a film of this one? Send it over.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
Have the GPX? Send us the link.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
Are you the race director? Get in touch and we'll make it right.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Where this came from.
Every fact on this page records its source and when we last checked it: 57 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.
27% of what we track for a course is filled in. The rest says "not checked yet" rather than guessing.
Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
