Sustainability

In an effort to continue and expand upon our green initiatives, the Life Time Miami Marathon & Half has enacted a few meaningful measures to help reduce our event’s impact on the environment:

• Reduction of water bottle plastic waste via our partnership with Miami-Dade county to source water at the majority of aid stations from nearby fire hydrants
• Utilization of storm drain filters at various points throughout the course to protect Miami’s fragile waterways from on-course waste
• Unused finisher food and discarded clothing is donated to charity. Finisher shirts that runners have opted-out of receiving – an option we first offered in 2020 – will also be donated.
• Reduction of paper usage, which accounts for the majority of municipal waste, with the implementation of digital communication/signage where possible on race day

• Utilize Reduce.Recycle.Reuse stations installed throughout the start/finish lines and on-course
• Carry your own reusable hydration bottle, and utilize self-service water refill stations. Reuse the Proud Source aluminum water container received in the Finish Chute to refill water at the stations provided instead of grabbing a new bottle when empty. Remember to recycle your Proud Source bottle in the proper receptacle onsite when finished.
• Don’t throw away your old running sneakers. Donate them to charities, like our partners at Sneaker Impact, that will redistribute them to people in need or will recycle them
• Extra Tips –
  • Carpool on Race Day
  • Take Public Transportation when possible
