Expect 15,000 runners to pass through our neighborhood Sunday morning — plan accordingly

Miami’s annual marathon and half marathon, this year branded under the name Lifetime, happens Sunday morning, and as always, crosses Belle Isle and the Venetian Causeway.

The race starts at 6 a.m. near the FTX Arena downtown, crosses the McArthur Causeway east to Miami Beach, and then heads back to mainland Miami over the Venetian Causeway.

The first runners are expected to reach our neck of the woods sat about 6:20 a.m., and the roadway will be crowded with runners until at least 10 a.m.

It will be pretty much impossible to leave Belle Isle by car during that time, so get you shopping down Saturday night.

Why not haul out a chair and cheer on the runners!
