Miami Transit Adds Service for Corporate Run

Miami-Dade Transit will boost Metromover service Thursday, April 23, as thousands of runners descend on Downtown Miami for the Lexus Corporate Run. The agency's encouraging participants and spectators to use public transit to avoid heavy traffic and road closures that'll last from 1 p.m. through approximately 11 p.m. Metromover will run enhanced service from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., with all three loops operating to handle the expected crowds.

Context

The annual Corporate Run draws large crowds to Downtown Miami, creating significant traffic congestion and requiring extensive road closures in the downtown core and Brickell areas. Transit agencies typically increase service for major events to accommodate both participants and spectators while reducing vehicle traffic in affected areas. Miami-Dade Transit's coordinated response includes enhanced Metromover frequency, regular Metrorail service, and adjusted bus routes to work around the closures. The agency said the service adjustments are designed to provide convenient access to the race area while managing the impact of street closures on regular transit operations.

Service Details

Metrorail will operate on its regular schedule from 5 a.m. to midnight, with fares at $2.25 per ride or $5.65 for a one-day pass. Riders should exit at Government Center Station and transfer to the free Metromover for direct access to the race area. First Street, College/Bayside, and Bayfront Park stations are all within walking distance of the start and finish line. Several Metrobus routes will experience detours and delays due to road closures in Downtown and Brickell areas, though officials didn't specify which routes would be affected.

Timeline

Road closures begin at 1 p.m. Thursday and will last until approximately 11 p.m., officials said. The enhanced Metromover service runs from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., providing extended frequency during peak arrival and departure times for race participants. Riders should expect heavy passenger volumes and allow extra travel time before and after the race.
