Why this race

The island looks different on foot.

Start beside the Atlantic. Run through Key West as the city wakes. Finish steps from the sand with 13.1 miles behind you and the rest of the island ahead.

Some will come to compete. Some will come to complete. Most will carry a reason that has little to do with a finishing time.

Bring your reason. Register
