    KB Half is a great race. Multirace puts on great events. You get to run over the bridge and by the ocean. Medals are great.

The one thing they could have done better is actually have lights and a computer at the the packet pick up " It's 2012 and paper is dead " said Cecelia - she was right. We had to use our iPhone lights to help the staff. The other is to have the Medals table fully staffed for the whole event - I was in the last wave and had to go fish my own medal out of a box and many people did not get them because the staff already left - probably at Wet Willies. I will be doing this event again next year - I suggest you check it out. I am thinking UYE Sports event !!

    Let's begin with saying...I earned a finisher medal ....AND it GLOWS!!!! Second, great turnout -…read morefun - and festive. Third, this did not earn five stars because they did not plan well for the packet pick ups; they were disorganized and unprepared for the large crowd. A friend of mine picked up my packet the day before, so I had to wait a long time for my team-members to pick up theirs. I finally got annoyed enough to force my volunteerism...yep..I went behind the table and helped them disseminate the packets. They struggled with finding names on a list, because...wait for it...no one thought to have lights at the tent for a night time event. Beside the above debacle ...this was so fun..and I actually improved in my time- even with a cold. I met lots of fun people and the music was great. I will recommend this for teams and veterans...first timers may feel a bit overwhelmed with running on the sand and the lack of cheerleaders on the path.

    Very aptly named, the Miami Nice Triathlon is everything that is good about Miami, not only is it a…read morewonderful event set in arguably the most beautiful multisport courses, but it is also staged for two great causes. It was created to promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity, and also and most importantly, in partnership with the City of Miami and Hands on Miami, to plant 1,000 trees in the next few years, thus making Miami a better place to live, work and play. The Miami Nice Triathlon follows the same course as the now internationally famous Miami International Triathlon which takes place in March and is one of the premiere races to jump start the Triathlon season. Miami Nice gives athletes the opportunity to gage their progress through the season as it stages two races with the same name, one in June 9th and the second installment in August 29th. These are perfect dates to participate in such competitive and challenging races. The early date allows for a review of the training and results and yields invaluable data to make the necessary adjustments to ensure a high performance season. The latter date is ideal to refocus and prepare for the late fall and end of season events. As mentioned before, the course of the Miami Nice Triathlon is world class, first the swim which takes place in a quiet inlet, it is open water but with little to no current and a very safe course. Exiting the water after 1500 meters of a good swim leg, comes one of the most exhilarating bike courses in South Florida multisport. Traveling through the Rickenbacker Causeway, the athletes have the opportunity to take in the beautiful Miami Skyline while testing their legs going over the William Powell bridge not one, but four times as they travel through two laps of the same route. With ocean views through much of the bike leg, the competitive and inspiring. After 24.8 mile bike leg, the participants shake their legs through T2 to begin a very unique 6.2 mile run, here the runners literally run through the woods, a shaded path that feels more like a trail since much of it is on soft packed dirt, covered with pine needles. It brings you close to nature and the runners welcome the much needed shade from the pine trees, emerging from the trail in the second lap to run a few hundred yards towards the finish line. There is no way to describe the feeling of accomplishment that an athlete feels when they drape the medal over your head and you check off one more successful Triathlon off your bucket list. The Miami Nice triathlon also has an option of a Sprint Distance race, a 750 meter swim, 12.4 bike and 3.1 mile run makes this the perfect first time race for anyone looking to try a tri.

    The Miami Beach Halloween Freaky Four Miler was my most recent 5K, and I cut my time from my last…read moreevent by 2 minutes. #yeahme! As the name implies, it was a Halloween themed event and I went dressed up as #thatguy who didn't rock a costume. The race had both a 5K and Half Marathon component; I did the 5K and will comment on that. Originally - up to two weeks before - the race was supposed to start from Parrot Jungle and run across the causeway ending up at Nikki Beach. However, about 3 days after registering I was advised it was changing , supposedly over construction on the causeways (which I didn't notice any on this particular day). Still and all, the race organizers did a pretty good job with keeping me informed. Unlike the previous 5k, they required packet pick up in advance (most likely to get you to spend money at one of the sponsor stores #tinfoil). The course wasn't too bad; we started running along South Pointe Park to the access walkway of the marina, eventually thru Ocean Drive and back through the park. Signage was actually pretty clear and there were water & Gatorade stations at about third points of the course. The food spread after the run wasn't too bad. Besides the usual bananas and orange slices, they had blueberry pancakes and a tasty scrambled eggs with onions and red peppers. I wish they would have also had chair massage stations to help runners stretch like they used to have back in the earlier editions of the run.

    The 2011 Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon was my first road race ever. I had a really great time…read moreand it was a blast to run in a costume. People seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves and the organizers and volunteers did a wonderful job of making sure that everything went smoothly. The route was fun and offered many beautiful views of Miami along the way. The finisher medal is super cute and makes me smile every time I look at it. Really, I have no complaints at all and recommend it to serious and novice runners alike. This was a laid-back race experience in a beautiful setting and I can't wait to run it again next year. Five stars all around.

It seemed like a way to "cop out" of putting up the 20+ unique obstacles. Instead, we had 16 or so obstacles and had to re-do a few of them. - Missed obstacles like Arctic Enema. It felt like we had all the janky obstacles for the first 90% of the run. All of the fun ones were saved for the 2nd loop and stuffed into the last 1-2 miles (i.e., blockness monster, happy ending, funky monkey, etc.). Really disappointed in the layout. - Like the other reviewer mentioned, there was... No. Mud. Perhaps that's a fault of SoFlo since our dirt at this park was more like sand... but it felt like I was at a beach moreso than going through an actual mud run. Absolutely no mud. - No premium parking. In the past, I've always been happy to pay the $25 or whatever to park closer to the venue. In this instance, it was $20/vehicle, and premium parking didn't exist. Not only that, but it took over 30 minutes to park... This isn't Disney, folks! - Photographers... were placed SO badly! There was one that was just randomly placed in a field. WHY? Put him by an obstacle! There was no one by Berlin Walls; no one by Hero Carry; no one by Funky Monkey... It's fun getting to see the photo documentation of you championing the obstacles, but not this time. - Ran out of Small tech t-shirts... followed quickly by the Mediums. I have no idea what's going on with TM this year. :/ First time I've been to an event that ran out of Ts. + Only pro is the community. Still great camaraderie; everyone is always willing to help out others up and over obstacles, etc. Overall, just super disappointed. I think this will be my last Tough Mudder. In the future, I'll probably be looking for other mud runs. :(

    This was my 3rd Tough Mudder and the worst one I've done. There was almost no mud or water courses…read more We also had to repeat several courses twice for the for the "full race". Not going to do it again in Miami.

    I have developed a love hate relationship with this event. On the one hand, it pushes my boundaries…read moreand in the end makes me better. All three legs are pretty cool on their own - The swim is perfect, very little current in the water, plenty of space to accommodate a large field of swimmers, clear, quiet waters. The 2010 winter in Miami has been awesome, nice and cool. So in a March Sunday morning of the waters of Miami, the water was a balmy 69 degrees, the temperature was in the high 50s, which made it for a very cold swim. One can argue that it was my fault because despite the fact that it was wetsuit legal because of the water temperature, I decided against the hassle of trying to peel off the wetsuit during the swim to bike transition. So I froze my ass in the swim. In hindsight it may not have been the best strategy since I had to burn so many calories just to avoid hypothermia, I guess I paid for it in the bike and the run. The bike leg, as usual is probably the best part of this event, to see the Miami Skyline while going over the Rickenbacker causeway is pretty energizing, never mind that your legs are screaming in pain while climbing the bridge, and because you have to do two loops, you have to climb those bridges twice. The wind was either awesome or a killer, depending on which direction you were going, it was nice to have the tailwind to push you but when you turned into it, it stopped you in your tracks. Finally the run. It stands alone as a very unique running course, nestled under the shade of pine trees, it certainly is easier to log in the last 6 miles of the event without having to bake in the sun. Mind you by this time, I was all salty from the electrolyte depletion on the bike so the shade is certainly welcome. Great event from a participant's standpoint, it really forces you to push yourself which in the end leads to a wonderful achievement. But an event is not just for the accomplishments, there are also logistics, organization, and other considerations. First and foremost, safety for the participants is paramount. In the Miami International Tri you always feel safe, your equipment is secure and all efforts are made to ensure the athletes are well taken care of. However, it is imperative to consider the spectators as well, who wake up with us and support us throughout the race. From this standpoint, MIT gets a failing grade and here's why : The music sucks !!! it is everything that is wrong with Miami. This DJ makes no effort to be original, it's the same crap that you hear in the crappy events. The food, after dishing out a pretty penny to participate in this race I must wait in line for 20 minutes to grab a plate an be served like an inmate, white rice, black beans, some sinewy chicken and fried plantains, served in very controlled portions, screw that ! I may be a bit spoiled coming out of events such as the Miami Marathon or the Miami Beach 13.1 where the food was plentiful and varied and nobody to control my portions. Mind you, we pay a good amount of money to participate in these events and granted as long as I am safe throughout the course, everything is secondary. But come on ! Make it a bit more spectator friendly and make sure the after events are up to par. After all this is considered one of the 100 best races as rated by triathlete magazine. Last but not least, a huge shout out to all the volunteers who are out there making sure we are well taken care of during the race, you guys all rock !!! Thank you !! So MIT, step it up !! Greatness comes with responsibility and it is a shame to miss out on the details. This is a premiere race now, it is hard to stay on top !! Don't let it slide.

    As for many of the race reviews I write are from the spectator, cheerleader and equipment manager…read morepoint of view, this one is as well. I have been to a myriad of races as such and for us who are seeing the race from the backstage perspective. Commentary as always top notch! Great job. I watched the life guards accompany the very last swimmers in, encouraging them patiently as they struggled to finish. Kudos you rock! The Expo had some great vendors but like I said.. some.. all in all it would be nice to have some more vendors there were too few. Most vendors are selling triathlon related gear (excellent! I got a great bike stand for a great price) or handing out samples of some really neat new products (loved the coconut milk samples, and the acai frozen treat and will be looking for both at Whole Foods), and a huge BOO to 100% Natural who were selling water and beverages by way of young volunteers wandering around asking attendees "Would you like some water?" and then proceeding to tell them they have to pay for it and therefore guilting them into it. They also were selling food items you get at the grocery store. What were they even doing there? No added value to the event. The parking was atrocious. JUST atrocious. We arrived at the event more than an hour early and it took us 40 minutes in line to get into the parking lot at MAST, then trek to the race site. The port o potties were disgusting since the day of package pickup, on the day of the race they weren't even an option. I consumed NOTHING besides my coffee in the morning so I wouldn't have to go to them, I left the house at 5:20AM and left the race site after 11:30AM. Put that into perspective - I didn't consume water so I wouldn't have to go to the port o potties (which also ran out of paper on Saturday as well). The 'sinks' to wash hands had no water either so you would see many people walking away with soapy hands. . The whole site is not friendly for any spectator to move around, and although I must say my encounters with all of the volunteers for the most part was great, there was one specific one who shut me in the race path by moving a barrier and then proceeded to scream at me because I needed to get out. It was like 'hon, i was TELLING you I was trying NOT to get trapped on the beach when you did that and you shut me right into the runners path". She was obnoxious. I know you are a volunteer, I have done it before, its not the most fun thing to be there at 4AM, I get it, but you and I know you are doing it to get SOMETHING in return and it was obvious in her attitude she did NOT want to be there. Sigh... the DJ. Seriously? Reggaeton? Pitbull? So loud that you cant talk without screaming? Why is it that DJ's think that if people can actually talk in the vicinity they aren't loud enough. Plus, its a race with families, and really that type of music save it for the Tools that party on SoBe, keep the events more generic. You have at least 30 years of music that everyone can listen to without the intense desire to poke their eardrums out with a blunt object. K? The food line for the racers was difficult and confusing. It just seemed that this year the whole event was highly disorganized, last year it ran so much more smoothly. For every racer you have 1 - 3 spectators please don't forget that we have to hang out for hours, please don't forget us. Let me give my thanks however, because even with those cons the event itself is a great opportunity for local and out of town racers to participate in an event that is challenging and fulfilling.

Packet/shirt pickup was Friday/Saturday at the Miami Beach Convention Center before the race on Sunday. I thought it was a pretty big inconvenience to make a whole extra trip down to Miami (I live in Broward), but after experiencing the hectic-ness of the morning of the race, I understand and greatly appreciate the early pickup. Packet pickup was super easy, and there were tons of vendors there and walking around was a fun time. Race day: Bayside was PACKED(and this year they capped it at 15,000 runners). We took the metro straight to Bayside after parking at Dadeland. We got there around 5:30 and the first wave was at 6ish. I will say that the only negative about the day was the almost total lack of signs/directions (and staff with identifying shirts) as to where to go. I wandered around looking for the bag drop for a while, but once I found it it was quick. Port-a-pots: NO EVENT EVER HAS ENOUGH. I waited in line for about 25 minutes which isn't too bad really, but next year they need to at least double what they had. Made it to my bay and my run started around 6:35. The course was awesome, with plenty of water/Gatorade stations, and cheering stations to keep the morale up. After finishing there were tons fo free drinks, snacks, and a lunch provided. There were tons of vendor tents set up and the option to hang out and party the whole day, but I was beat and ready to go straight home. It was such a fun event and I can't wait until next year!
