Qualify for the Boston Marathon in Miami

You don’t have to qualify for the Boston Marathon in the cold, come qualify in sunny Miami!

The Boston Marathon is the only large-scale marathon that still requires you to meet a qualifying time in order to compete, so it’s a big deal to get great times. If you have not run your qualifier, there is still time before the race in April. But, it is winter, and it can be hard to find a marathon in a warm place. The A1A Marathon is a marathon in the Miami area, where the weather is perfect for running.

Even as winter drops snow on some people, those in Florida do not brace for cold weather. In the early months of the year, the temperature is generally warm and sunny. Snow hardly ever falls on Fort Lauderdale. Cold air makes it hard to breathe, and muscles and joints work most effortlessly when they are warm. Warmer climates like Fort Lauderdale require extra attention to hydration, but you can kiss cold weather injuries goodbye.

Besides offering ideal conditions for fast qualifying times, the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area offers a whole lot more. The beautiful scenery and beaches cannot be beat, and the nightlife and restaurant choices are beyond compare. Bring the family for a nice, relaxing beach vacation, or bring a special someone for an experience that won’t be soon forgotten. As your feet pound the pavement and the ocean roars in your ears you will be glad you chose to run in the A1A Marathon in the Miami area.
