What does it cost to enter a half marathon here?
Entry fees sit at $30, and that is consistent across the races that have published pricing. None of the races currently show a scheduled price increase, so there is no urgency penalty for registering a little later, though that can always change.
Will I get a shirt at these races?
All 28 races say they give a shirt. None of them mention a medal, so if hardware matters to you, check directly with the race before you sign up.
Is this a good spot for a first half marathon?
Key Biscayne's terrain is mostly flat, which suits someone building toward a first 13.1. The William Powell Bridge is the one significant climb local runners talk about, but the island's courses have not published elevation details. Every race here also offers a 5K and a 10K on the same day, so you can step up distances at the same event as you build confidence.
How do finishing times at these races compare to what I might expect?
None of the 28 half marathons here have published finish-time results, so there is no field data to draw on. If you want a sense of where you might land in the field, the race organizers are your best source.
