Registering and race-day tips

Most of these register through Key West Half Marathon; the season's marquee event is the Palm Beaches Marathon; South Florida race mornings are humid year-round; the National Hurricane Center dew-point forecast matters more than temperature; Miami-Dade Transit (Metrorail, Metromover, buses) serves several start lines. Packet pickup is usually the day before; check each race page.
