Miami Half Marathon 3rd Annual Shakeout 5k - HISTORIC OVERTOWN

350 Northwest 13th Street,Miami FL 33136

28 January, 2023

Description

OUR PURPOSE Since 2018 we have been a participant in the Miami Half Marathon which. And each year we host a community run through a different historic neighborhood the Saturday before the race, as a way to welcome travelers to Miami and show them a more culture and authentic perspective of the city. We've highlighted Liberty City, Little Haiti and Overtown. This year, we'd like to host the run in Overtown, which is one of Miami's Oldest Historically Black Communities. A TRUE MIAMI EXPERIENCE Along the run we stop at historic landmarks and share the local history. Following the runs we support a local black owned business, Lil Greenhouse Cafe, as a way of contributing to the local economy, and to give visitors a taste of the city. In 2020 we had a great turnout, nearly 50 participants. This year we'd love to see more. Runners came from as far as Los Angeles, as many people are in town for the Miami Half Marathon Race. Our shakeout run is the most authentic Miami experience that most runners that weekend will get. It makes their experience so much richer, something they'll always remember about their time in Miami.
