On Saturday, October 24, the Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon and Freaky 4-Miler start at 7th Street and Ocean Drive, with a costume-themed course along the water. The race weekend also includes a Trick or Treat Kids Dash, so the morning works for serious runners and families alike.

A course along the beach

The route winds through the flat streets of South Beach with the ocean in view, which makes it a friendly course for a first half marathon. The Halloween theme is the fun part: runners race in costume, spectators dress for the day, and the finish area turns into a beachside celebration. October mornings in Miami Beach stay comfortable for the whole field.

For runners and families

The Freaky 4-Miler offers a shorter distance for walkers and newer runners, and the kids dash brings the whole family to the starting line. Course details, start times, and registration live on the race's official site, and signing up ahead of the weekend is the practical choice. Spectators can watch the costumes pass from any point along Ocean Drive.

A beachside weekend in Miami

A race is a good reason to spend the whole weekend in Miami Beach: the day before the run, the race on Saturday morning, and the beach after the finish. Events like this keep the beach cities busy through October, and a Halloween-themed race is a fitting way to mark the season. For active families across Miami-Dade and Broward, it is a weekend plan with a finish line.
