About the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk

The course runs through Zoo Miami, so you are passing enclosures and open habitat the whole way. It is a flat, paved route through zoo grounds, which means the scenery does the work while you run. A separate shorter dash for younger kids runs later in the morning, keeping the main race from getting crowded with strollers.

Parking is in the West Lot, close to the start and registration area. Signs at the zoo entrance direct you from the main road. Race-day registration is available in person if you need it. There is music and food at the finish line, and your entry includes full-day zoo access after you are done.

Common Questions About the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 42:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:40:12, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 705 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:37 while the median finisher took 42:43. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Dash of the Titans 5K Run/Walk?

Join a local run club. Baptist Health Brickell Run Club, Baptist Health Kendall Run Club, Baptist Health Gables Run Club and others in Miami welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
