Registration for Miami Marathon & Half opens Friday
Registration for the 2026 Life Time Miami Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement opens Friday — and with demand growing every year, organizers say another rapid sellout is all but guaranteed. Only 18,500 spots are available, and they're expected to disappear quickly for the fifth consecutive year.
In fact, the race has been filling up faster and faster. Registration for the 2025 edition closed on Aug. 29 of last year — two weeks earlier than the previous record sellout date for the 2024 race, and a full seven weeks ahead of 2023's pace. Last year's wait list swelled to more than 10,000 runners hoping for a last-minute chance to compete in this defining event on South Florida's calendar.
The 2026 iteration — the 24th annual — will take place Sunday, Jan. 25.
'It's the hottest ticket in town,' said race co-founder and Life Time chief running officer Frankie Ruiz. 'Runners throughout the world have the Life Time Miami Marathon on their calendar. We are honored and thrilled with the enthusiasm that we see from runners who come back year-to-year to experience the special thrill of running Miami.'
As usual, Life Time Miami Marathon & Half will feature a flat, fast, USTAF-certified course that winds through Downtown Miami, Miami Beach and Coconut Grove. It's also a Boston Marathon qualifier and considered one of the country's most scenic and well-run distance events.
Participants will again include runners from all 50 states and nearly 70 countries. Those unable to snag a spot on registration day can add their name to a wait list, though that hasn't guaranteed entry in recent years.
Along with the main event, the Life Time Tropical 5K is also set to return the day before — Saturday, Jan. 24. The shorter race offers runners a warm-up with tropical vibes, beginning on Watson Island and finishing at the southern tip of South Beach. It's also a favorite among friends and family who want to join the festivities without tackling a longer distance. Registration for the 5K opens the same day as the marathon and half.
The Miami Marathon & Half is part of a portfolio of more than 30 endurance events organized by LifeTime, the health and wellness company that also produces the Chicago Half Marathon, UNBOUND Gravel, and the Leadville Race Series. Life Time operates more than 180 athletic country clubs across the U.S. and Canada, including several in South Florida.
'The unique culture and diversity of Miami brings such a special layer to the race experience that Life Time is proud to offer athletes from all over the globe,' said Samantha Bailey, senior marketing manager for Life Time Athletic Events. 'It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience.'
In the 2025 races, Paul Eyanae from Kenya won the marathon with a time of 2:20:00, while Beth Marzigliano from Naples claimed the women's title in 3:03:42.
In the Half Marathon, Solomon Kagimbi from Kenya became Miami's first two-time men's winner with a time of 1:04:27, while Nell Rojas from Boulder, Colo., matched the women's course record at 1:13:53.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned racer chasing a personal best, don't wait too long to commit. The race has become a signature South Florida experience — and those who delay might find themselves cheering from the sidelines.

Savannah Chrisley skewers sister Lindsie: ‘We're no longer family, lose our last name'
Savannah Chrisley is unlocking her truth. The trailer for the 27-year-old and her family's new reality series, 'The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,' dropped on Thursday, in which she highlights the estrangement between their brood. The Lifetime show, which premieres on Sept 1, will follow Savannah, her parents, Todd and Julie, and two of her brothers, Chase, Grayson, and Chloe (whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016). Nanny Faye will also be back, along with Julie's parents, Harvey and Pam Hughes. Advertisement 9 Savannah Chrisley slams her sister Lindsie in her new reality show. Lifetime The project will highlight Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, navigating life after they 'are eventually pardoned, released from prison and return home.' And they are not holding back. In the five-minute trailer, the Chrisleys detail having their 'own family members betray' them. Advertisement 'The prosecutor read the letter Lindsie wrote to the FBI. We're no longer family, lose our last name,' Savannah said of her older sister. 9 Savannah Chrisley opens up about her relationship with Lindsie Chrisley. Lifetime 'I mean, if your own blood will screw you over, then a stranger definitely will,' Chase, 29, added. 'This family's been torn apart. Because it was always like this and now it's like this,' Nanny Faye explained. Advertisement Todd and Julie were indicted in 2019, with federal prosecutors accusing them of submitting fake documents to banks in order to garner more than $30 million in loans. In 2022, the couple was found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion. 9 Documents from Lindsie Chrisley speaking with the FBI. Lifetime Todd received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie was sentenced to seven years. The pair has maintained their innocence. 'With my parents gone, our household is completely divided,' Savannah said in the trailer. 'I told my parents I don't know if it can ever be repaired, honestly.' Advertisement Despite Lindsie, 35, being on the outs with her family, she gave a subtle nod to her dad and stepmom after it was announced they were being pardoned by President Donald Trump in May. 9 Lindsie Chrisley is at odds with her parents as seen in documents. Lifetime Lindsie, whom Todd shares with his first wife, Teresa Terry, wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'With God all things are possible.' The podcast host previously starred alongside her family in 20 episodes of their 10-season reality show, 'Chrisley Knows Best.' Last month, Lindsie revealed she decided to drop her surname and go by her boyfriend's last name instead. 9 Lindsie Chrisley on Instagram. lindsiechrisley/Instagram After eagle-eyed fans noticed the mom-of-one changed her name on Instagram to 'Lindsie Landsman,' she detailed the reason why. 'For a long time, I very much battled with carrying my maiden last name, and with me carrying that last name came public association,' she explained to listeners on her 'Southern Tea' podcast. Advertisement Lindsie added that the popular moniker came with 'assumptions of all different kinds, weight that I truly feel like I never asked for.' 9 Lindsie Chrisley poses with her son Jackson on Instagram. lindsiechrisley/Instagram 'And I do think it's fair to say that contrary to what some people believe, the Chrisley last name, while it did start with 'Chrisley Knows Best' — and we all collectively were doing that project together — outside of that, that last name did not create income or opportunity for me,' she continued. Lindsie admitted the last name 'became very problematic with me being associated in any capacity, in business, and has been problematic for projects that I have done post-'Chrisley Knows Best.'' Advertisement Now, the star is going by a name that feels right. 9 Savannah Chrisley with her dad Todd. savannahchrisley/Instagram 9 Savannah Chrisley gives a press conference. AP 'You know, the big question is: 'Are David and I married?' And we are not married,' expressed Lindsie. 'I feel that it is fair to say that he and I built a safe and loving relationship that allows for stability in my life and in Jackson's life, and in this chapter, that name feels like home to me.' Advertisement This isn't the first time, however, that the Chrisleys' drama has played out publicly. In 2023, Lindsie gave insight into her fractured relationship with Todd and Julie. 'There were some rumors that went around after our last podcast episode that the reason that I have not seen Julie was because she doesn't want to see me, and that is just untrue,' she said on her podcast. 'Finally, I have been able to communicate over [her prison's] form of email for the first time, but also her email is very delayed. Dad's is very different. You can send him an email and you will hear back within maybe two hours.' 9 'Chrisley Knows Best' cast. Tommy Garcia/USA Network Advertisement A year later, Lindsie confessed that her relationship with Savannah is 'nothing.' 'It's mind-blowing to me, the control and manipulation. It very much alarms me, and I'm just going to leave it at that,' she stated.

See Julie, Todd Chrisley's emotional return home in new Lifetime trailer
After two years in federal prison, cameras are once again rolling on the Chrisleys. On July 31, Lifetime released a five-minute trailer for "The Chrisleys: Back to Reality," a fall docuseries that shows the "Chrisley Knows Best" family members' fight for Todd and Julie Chrisley's release, followed by the former real estate moguls' return home after President Donald Trump's pardon in May. The trailer shows Todd, wearing a "45-47" hat in honor of the two-term president, telling wife Julie: "I never thought I'd be with a dark-headed woman, but I'm willing to try it tonight." Julie, known for her voluminous, shoulder-length blonde 'dos, is sporting natural brown locks with grown-out gray hair toward her roots in the footage of the couple reuniting with their family. Who will be in 'The Chrisleys: Back to Reality?' Family members from 27-year-old daughter Savannah to sons Chase, 29, and Grayson, 19, give their input throughout the upcoming series as they give talking head interviews about their family's dynamic during their parents' imprisonment. Grandparents "Nanny" Faye Chrisley, as well as Harvey and Pam Hughes, also make appearances alongside Todd's granddaughter Chloe, whom he and Julie adopted in 2016. One person who likely won't show up in the series is Todd's daughter, Lindsie Chrisley Campbell. "We're no longer family. Lose our last name," Savannah says at one point, referring to her half-sister's past communication with the FBI. A screenshot of a December 2020 email shows Lindsie saying, "I'm still a victim of Todd Chrisley's harassment." 'Not going to lie': Todd Chrisley addresses Julie Chrisley's post-prison look "With our parents gone, our household is completely divided," Savannah, who spearheaded the charge to get her parents released, says. "We can tell this story today and then we can be done with this part of our life," Julie is heard saying off-camera. Todd tells the cameras, "I'm looking at this as me exposing the truth, and depending on how long this interview goes, you might see more than what you bargained for." What happened with the Chrisleys? What landed them in prison, why they were pardoned What happened to Julie and Todd Chrisley? On May 27, Trump called Savannah to let her know her parents were "going to be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow." In May, Julie and Todd Chrisley were released from their respective prisons in Lexington, Kentucky, and Pensacola, Florida. Both had served more than two years of their prison terms, which were commuted following Trump's full pardon. In June 2022, Todd and wife Julie Chrisley, who portrayed themselves as real estate tycoons in the South on their USA Network shows, were found guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks in Atlanta out of more than $36 million. The pair was accused of running a scheme that, through fraudulent loans, defrauded the IRS and committed tax evasion. Julie Chrisley was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud. Todd Chrisley was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie Chrisley received a seven-year sentence, and both reported to their respective federal prisons in January 2023. When is 'The Chrisleys: Back to Reality' coming out? "The Chrisleys: Back to Reality" will have a two-part premiere, with each episode lasting two hours. The first part will air at 8 p.m. ET Sept. 1, followed by the second half at 8 p.m. ET Sept. 2. The rest of the episodes air weekly on Tuesdays, from Sept. 9-16, at 8 p.m. ET.
