Now in its fourth year, the Miami Tropical Marathon, this year featuring ING as a prestigious title

Chicago, Boston and New York. The 26.2-mile course will begin and end in front of the American
Airlines Arena and run through the City of Miami Beach, City of Miami and Miami-Dade County.
The Miami Tropical Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 29, with a 5:50 a.m.
wheelchair start and a 6:00 a.m. runner start time. The 5K, now in its second year, will take place
Saturday, January 30. Race organizers expect over 15,000 participants to compete in the marathon

The Miami Beach Police Department will implement a comprehensive traffic plan that includes over
50 police officers, volunteers and numerous detour signs that will allow traffic to flow with ease.
Much effort has been put forth in notifying the neighborhoods to be effected by the marathon,
including Palm/Hibiscus and Star Islands, South Pointe, Ocean Drive, Middle Beach and the Venetian
Islands. Please be advised that a neighborhood meeting will be held to discuss the Miami Tropical
Marathon on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 5:30 pm in the Tourism and Cultural Development
