A hotel close to public transportation makes it simple to get to the starting line and back to your hotel once the race is over.
Fortunately, there are so many to choose from in Miami that you should have no trouble at all finding the ideal place to lay your head down once you’ve gotten your race medal.
Another option is to stay in Miami Beach, where there may be fewer people, but you’re a bit further away from the starting line. Fortunately, there is a shuttle that you can ride from the Miami Beach convention center that will get there without the added hassle of trying to navigate traffic or use public transportation.
Another option is to choose a hotel close to the beach so you can enjoy the sun and sand when you aren’t racing. Most of Miami’s beach hotels offer shuttle service to and from the race so you can get there with time to spare. Again, there are many hotels to choose from so you can find one that meets your budget and gives you the amenities you want and need.
These are some of the best hotels near the Miami Marathon running event.

You’ll be close to other Miami area attractions so you have plenty to do when the race is over. Kids stay free and there are several dining options available as well. Across the street is the Bayside Marketplace and you’ll love the breathtaking views out every window.
When it comes to high rise hotels, this is one of the best. The InterContinental Miami is a city icon and you can’t miss it along the skyline. True luxury abounds here, but it’s also close to the Miami Marathon starting point so you can get there easily. Modeled on the famous “The Spindle,” the place is also close to some of the best beaches . In fact, you can take advantage of a variety of beach packages to make your stay that much more memorable.

Located quite close to the marathon starting line, this hotel is the center of all of the action, giving you somewhere to rest that’s close to all the places you want to see and everything you want to do.
This condo hotel is a first class wonder right in the heart of downtown Miami.

Just a few minutes from the American Airlines Arena, you’ll be close to the starting line on race day and can head back to your room for some rest and relaxation afterwards.
As you can imagine, the marathon course is lined by the best Miami has to offer, from palm trees to tropical views from start to finish. You might even recognize some scenes from your favorite television shows or movies.
The course itself is a flat, single loop that is USATF-certified and is also a Boston qualifier. There are a couple of bridges, as well as time clocks along the way. There’s also entertainment, both for the runners and the spectators.
You’ll see signs to help you along the way and there are unofficial time clocks at the finish line so you can get an idea of your time.
When you aren’t hitting the pavement for your run, you can enjoy the beautiful beaches, delicious dining options and fun nightlife experiences waiting for you in Miami Florida.
When you’re done running, chances are that you’ll be ready to lay down and rest and that means finding a hotel with a comfortable bed and all of the amenities that you need.
Knowing where to be when the starting gun goes off is the most important piece of information to have when you’re running a marathon. If you have shuttle tickets, be sure to pick them up from the shuttle information booth, which is located at the expo.
Shuttles leave the Miami Beach Convention Center at 4:00am and you’ll need to be in line about 10 to 15 minutes prior for efficient boarding.
If you plan to get yourself to the starting line, you’ll take I-95, following the signs into downtown and toward the American Airlines Arena. To ensure that you find an open parking space, arrive no later than 5:00 am.
You might also consider taking public transportation, such as the Metrorail or Metromover so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking place. The fees are affordable and you’ll be delivered as close to the starting line as possible.
