An amazing bike course
Known very well by locals, the "Key Biscayne Loop" features a perfect 12.4 mile course when starting at the City of Miami Marine Stadium. Featuring beautiful views of the Downtown Miami Skyline, as well as Key Biscayne & Virginia Key beaches and parks, this course is smooth and flat in the majority of its extension - but don't think for a second it will be an easy ride: the William Powell bridge will separate real athletes from the rest, as it adds almost one mile of "hill climbing" biking and stands a total of 76 feet tall at its highest point from the water level. Olympic distance athletes will have to complete 2 full loops.
