The Miami area is bequeathed with some of the best urban running routes in the country, with Miami Beach offering an uninterrupted four-mile paved path along the sand, from South Pointe Park to 46th Street. 

Another popular route is the 3.1 miles from Miami across the Rickenbacker Causeway bridge to the aquarium at Key Biscayne. From there, an additional 2.7-mile route takes joggers along Biscayne Bay’s northern side to the terminus of Crandon Park. The Atlantic side of Key Biscayne is also popular for running, as it offers two miles of uninterrupted beach and several parks with trails.

For those in North Miami, Oleta River State Park spans 1,043 acres and is the largest urban park statewide. Runners should keep in mind that they will be sharing the 14 miles of trails, including three paved miles, with numerous cyclists and mountain bikers.
