16^th annual event reinforces Miami as hub for health and wellness experiences

MIAMI, March 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, today welcomed a record 4,500 runners to the sold-out Life Time 305 Half Marathon & 5K presented by Baptist Health. The event continued the momentum from Life Time's Miami Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement in January, further solidifying Miami's status as a global running destination.

Runners representing 37 states and 36 countries immersed themselves in Miami's one-of-a-kind energy — from sunrise views on the 13.1-mile and 3.1-mile courses to the Cafecito, local bites and lively music that gave the race its signature 305 flavor. Local Miami Beach runners Caroline Lefrak (1:23:00) and Alexander Beach (1:12:38) finished first in the women's and men's Half Marathon fields, earning hometown victories. Full race results for the 2026 Life Time 305 Half Marathon and 5K are available here.

Life Time's hallmark approach to healthy entertainment was on full display at the Finish Festival, where participants enjoyed live dueling DJs, cold plunges, medal engraving, games and a beer garden. For the first time, this year's event also featured a finisher medal ribbon designed by Miami artist Vic Garcia, plus a limited-edition line of official 305 merch in collaboration with the artist.

"It was a thrill to welcome the largest-ever field to this 16^th annual event," said Life Time Chief Running Officer, Frankie Ruiz. "The Life Time 305 Half Marathon & 5K reflects both the local and global enthusiasm for running in Miami, and we're proud to be part of the community that makes this health and wellness destination so iconic. With the rapid growth of our Life Time clubs across Florida, we're creating even more year-round opportunities for people to engage with Life Time and stay connected to the active, vibrant lifestyle this region inspires."

For runners taking on the Baptist Health Pineapple Race Series, the completion of the 305 Half Marathon & 5K checks off two of three races in the challenge. The final race of the series is the Life Time Turkey Trot Miami 5K/10K presented by Baptist Health on Thanksgiving Day, November 26.
