Future Date: Sunday, January 31, 2010 Course Elevation Information:

The truth is Miami and Miami Beach are at sea level; we have really no noticeable elevation changes. However, we do have to have a way to get from one beautiful piece of land to another without getting our feet in the water. Description of bridges or as we say in Miami "hills":

A 1/4 of a mile into the race there is the largest of the bridges (9 meters above sea level-highest elevation on the course) that is really not too tough because it is gradual and early in the race. This bridge connects us to Watson Island.
At the 2.5 mile mark you'll have a second incline that is less gradual of an incline but much lower in height than the first bridge. This connects us to the island of Miami Beach.
At the 8.5 mile mark you'll encounter a "hump" drawbridge that really isn't anything that will slow you down nor take much out of you. This is just more island hopping.
At the 10.5 mile mark there is another "hump" just slightly higher than the 8.5 mile drawbridge.
At the 13.1 mile mark you'll find yourself with a drawbridge that gives you an incredible view of the Miami River but again it is not that tall of a bridge.
At the 25.9 mile mark you'll go over a drawbridge that goes almost unnoticed because it is small and as you go up it you'll begin to hear the cheers and the music of the finish line.
