Top Florida Keys Races and Marathons
Since the area is conducive for outdoor activities, it's obvious there would be numerous Florida Keys races scheduled throughout the year. Arranged by date, here's just some of the more popular events you may want to enter, volunteer for, or simply enjoy as a spectator.
Florida Keys Ragnar Relay
Unfortunately late in 2015, Monroe County, for various reasons declined to issue Ragnar's permit for the 2016 Ragnar Relay race.
There is hope that with modifications by Ragnar, that the race will be held in the Florida Keys sometime in the future. However to do so, it will be necessary to host the Ragnar Relay at a time of year when tourism in the Florida Keys is not at it's peak.
In the world of races, the Ragnar Relay was a newer, crazy, and very popular Florida Keys marathon. The original Florida Keys Ragnar Relay started in Miami on a Friday and continued non-stop until the entrants reach Key West FL 199 miles later sometime on Saturday.
This event is not an actual race to the finish line, it's based upon best time, and it's a group event, with each participant running different legs of the relay.
The 2016 Ragnar Relay Florida Keys event was scheduled for February 5 - 6, 2016 before it's cancellation by the County and Ragnar.
Sombrero Beach Run Marathon Florida
Sombrero Beach Run is another Florida Keys race that provides a lot of excitement and the expected dates for 2023 are January 20 - 22.
Sombrero Beach Run is broken down into different events so it has something for everyone. You can participate in the 15K Challenge, the 10K Run, the 5K Walk/Run and the Kids Fun Run.
The charitable event benefits KAIR (Keys Area Interdenominational Resources) and begins Friday night with preregistration taking place at
Sombrero Beach.
The next day, Florida race entrants are treated to a variety of vendors plying various food items, drinks, and souvenirs, all topped off with good music.
Prizes are awarded, and afterward, race entrants and guests are invited to stay and enjoy the wonderful amenities beautiful Sombrero beach has to offer.
Seven Mile Bridge Sign
Seven Mile Bridge Run
Established in 1982, the Seven Mile Bridge Run is perhaps the longest standing, and most famous of the Florida Keys races.
A testament to the fine Florida weather is that a major snag didn't develop until the race's 31st season. The morning of Saturday, April 21, 2012, the people in the Florida Keys were treated to strong thunderstorms and heavy rain, forcing officials to cancel the much anticipated 7 MB Run race.
The 2023 Seven Mile Bridge Run date is tentatively set for Saturday, April 1 providing mother nature concurs. Registration is online only with information available at the official Seven Mile Bridge Run website.
