New Date: October 3rd
Dear MIA Runway 5K Participants/Spectators,
As we messaged earlier, the MIA Runway 5K benefiting Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has been postponed as a direct result of the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis. The decision to postpone the event was a very difficult one, however, we agree with the directive of our Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez that doing so is in the best interest of the entire community. The race staff team together with Miami International Airport officials are working diligently to set a date in the near future and share that with you as soon as we possible. Once we select the date we will immediately apply to obtain the necessary approvals from the Federal Aviation Authority (F.A.A.).
Your event entry fee will be automatically applied to the MIA Runway 5K virtual run or live event (pending final approval), You will need to indicate which option you'd like to participate in. Click on the radio button indicating your choice. We understand there is considerable uncertainty ahead and we will be regularly communicating with you all as the situation progresses. Your event staff and partners having been working diligently for over a year and we look forward to a successful event. We remind you that the purpose of the sold-out MIA Runway 5K is to fundraise for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The agreed upon NO REFUND policy stands for this event and all future events.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
MIA Runway 5K Team

IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING POSTPONEMENT OF RACE:
Unfortunately at this time the Miami Dade County Government has decided to suspend all major County events.
Miami-Dade County is under a state of emergency, as we deal with the public health threat of COVID-19.
Please see the statement below for reference. We will be in contact when a rescheduled date for the event has been established.
Statement from Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez on cancellation of mass gatherings
MIAMI ( March 12, 2020 ) —Miami-Dade County is under a state of emergency, as we deal with the public health threat of COVID-19.
Although we do not have community spread at this time, we want to take the preemptive steps to keep it that way. Therefore, I have decided to suspend the operation of the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair, the Miami Open tennis tournament, the MIA 5K run, and all major events at the American Airlines Arena. The March 22 NASCAR race at the Homestead Miami Speedway is postponed at this time. NASCAR officials will decide whether or not to hold the race without fans.
As we move forward together during this time, we will continue to monitor what the World Health Organization has determined is a global pandemic. We will constantly evaluate planned mass gatherings as the situation evolves.
I will be making future policy decisions regarding indoor events planned for more than 250 people based on federal and state health officials’ guidance.
In addition, I am recommending that smaller gatherings, if they’re not essential, also be reconsidered.
