This course was developed with the athlete in mind. In addition to amazing views, competitors will enjoy a completely safe environment.  The bike course and vehicular traffic are separated by medians, not just cones and barricades. Because it is located in a secluded area (an actual island), there are very few crossroads and no major intersections. The run course goes goes through a beautiful, shaded area projected by natural vegetation, then emarges into an area where participants will experience astonishing views of Miami's downtown skyline, the port of Miami, and the Key Biscayne bridge.
