Have a 9 hour layover during an international flight next week. Need to get in a decent run and wondering if anyone's got any tips where to go from the Miami airport using public transport to get a decent run - would love soft surface and can work with any route thats at least a mile or so long. Any tips much appreciated.
Larry & Penny Thompson Park is where they have all the local high school xc races. I know nothing about the place other than that.
Out and back on the runway, should be about 4 miles.
The airport is not too far from Miami Beach, which has a soft sand beach that can actually be run on. Just stay on the section where the beach patrol cars drive, not the fluffy stuff near the water (though that's where the topless women are). There is probably a bus that goes down there from the airport, but I always drove when I lived there. Or you could share a cab with someone.
Forget about Larry and Penny. That place is about one hour southwest of the airport. The beach is an option but a hassle to get to and a good 30 minutes away with traffic. Your best bet is to run in the Gables. Quiet, upper-middle class residential roads.
Take 42nd ave or 57th ave south from the airport, about 30-40 blocks and the scenery will start changing.
It’s funny how a decade later, I’m in a similar predicament. Staying in the Miami International Airport Hotel overnight & trying to get a run in the next morning before leaving. Won’t have a car. Do you think it’s possible to start from the hotel entrance at MIAD Cir and get a decent run in?
