The Story
Race morning in Miami. The start line hums with nervous energy. The 750m swim sends you into warm ocean at 26°C — warm enough that a wetsuit feels optional. The 20km bike is flat, built for speed and aero position. The 5km run is flat and fast through Miami's streets. The city delivers: Biscayne Bay warmth, South Beach backdrop, humidity that makes the air feel solid. Short enough to hurt, long enough to matter.
"I've raced all over North America. Miami is the one I keep coming back to."
What It Feels Like
A sprint course that reflects Miami: Art Deco heat and Latin energy. It suits beginners and those chasing personal bests. The course doesn't fight you — it lets you race. Race it once and you'll understand why people return.
🏊 The Swim
A 750m ocean swim in warm saltwater at 26°C. Shore break can add a physical challenge on entry and exit. Sight off the buoys — the open water offers few reference points.
🚴 The Bike
20km of flat road — a time-trialist's playground. The absence of climbing means aerodynamic position and sustained power determine your bike split. Wind, not gradient, is the variable here.
🏃 The Run
A 5km flat run through Miami. After the bike, flat ground feels like a gift — until the pace catches up. The run rewards negative splitting: start conservative, finish strong, pass people in the final kilometres.
💡 Insider Tips
- → Water temperatures around 26°C mean no-wetsuit conditions. Practice open-water swimming without neoprene buoyancy — your body position matters more without it. Swim skins offer marginal speed gains without thermal penalty.
- → With average temperatures around 27°C, hydration strategy matters. Start sipping early on the bike — by the time you're thirsty on the run, you're already behind on fluids.
- → The flat bike course rewards aerodynamic position over raw power. Time spent in the aero bars pays dividends — a bike fit before race day is the cheapest speed you'll find.
