MIAMI , Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2026 Life Time Miami Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement has once again sold out – this time, two weeks sooner than the previous record sellout for last year's event, and just two weeks after registration opened to the public.

Owned and produced by Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, registration for the January 25, 2026, event closed August 15 with 18,500 runners. A waitlist is now open through September 14. Spots will be reallocated only if a currently registered runner drops out or defers prior to the race. Waitlist notifications, if available, will be made starting September 22.

Registration for the January 24, 2026, Life Time Tropical 5K is now open. With a start at Watson Island and finishing at the southern tip of South Beach, the Tropical 5K is a great kickoff to the weekend – a great warmup for runners participating in the Marathon or Half. Training programs are available in the complimentary Life Time Digital app and can be custom built using the app's AI-powered healthy way of life companion, L•AI•C.

Waitlist and 5K registration are available at www.themiamimarathon.com.
