Miami Transit Adds Service for Corporate Run

Miami-Dade Transit will boost Metromover service Thursday, April 23, as thousands of runners converge on Downtown Miami for the Lexus Corporate Run. The transit agency's encouraging participants and spectators to use public transportation to avoid heavy traffic and road closures that'll last from 1 p.m. through approximately 11 p.m. Riders should expect heavy passenger volumes and allow extra travel time before and after the race.

Enhanced Service for Major Downtown Event

The Lexus Corporate Run draws thousands of participants annually to Downtown Miami, creating significant traffic congestion in the urban core. Miami-Dade Transit typically enhances service for major downtown events to accommodate increased ridership and provide alternatives to driving. Road closures beginning at 1 p.m. will affect multiple streets in Downtown and Brickell areas, making public transit the most reliable option for reaching the race area. The transit agency announced the service adjustments to help runners and spectators navigate the event more efficiently.

Metromover Operates All Three Loops

Metromover will operate all three loops—Inner, Omni, and Brickell—with enhanced service from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the service remains free to ride. Recommended stations for the event include First Street, College/Bayside, and Bayfront Park stations, all within walking distance of the start and finish line. Metrorail will operate on a regular schedule from 5 a.m. to midnight, with fares at $2.25 per person per ride or $5.65 for a 1-day pass. Riders should exit at Government Center Station and transfer to Metromover for quick access to the race area.

Bus Routes Face Detours Thursday

Several Metrobus routes will experience detours and delays due to road closures in Downtown and Brickell areas throughout the event. The closures begin at 1 p.m. Thursday, April 23, and last until approximately 11 p.m. Transit officials didn't specify which bus routes will be affected or provide detailed detour information. Passengers can check real-time service updates through transit apps for current route information.

Plan Ahead for Race Day Travel

Riders should expect heavy passenger volumes on Metrorail and Metromover before and after the race and allow extra travel time.
