Foundation is collaborating with Clean Miami Beach and funding the efforts to clean
up Nikki Beach following the Life

promote and uphold preservation and conservation. This event is
open to athletes, spectators and the public.

Miami-Dade County school students will complete the Final Mile of
their 16-week long marathon program. All participants will receive
a hard-earned medal upon crossing the Finish Line in downtown
Miami alongside thousands of
Marathon and Half Marathon adult
participants. With the support of the Life Time Foundation, the
Life Time Kids Run Miami youth running program is offered free of
charge to all Miami-Dade County Middle School students. They will
complete their final mile at the race-day finish line at 11
a.m. Families and friends can join the Life Time Foundation's
on-course cheer station at the start of the Kids Run for shade,
noise-makers, and fun.
- February 2: Miami-Dade County
Middle Schoolers won't be the only ones to cross the finish line.
Forty-two Athletes are racing to support the Life Time Foundation,
with each athlete raising at least $1,000 to participate. Life Time is pleased to
offer the Foundation Athlete Program – a great way for athletes to
support Healthy People and Healthy Planet initiatives while
competing in some of the nation's most iconic endurance events.
- Beyond race weekend: The Life Time Foundation continues its
support with a $75,000 grant to The
Education Fund to support the Food Forests for Schools program,
which helps provide an outdoor space for students to increase
academic achievement, improve their health, and learn more about
the environment, while increasing the number of trees that provide
both canopy and an abundance of high-nutrient food.
"Our commitment to fostering a healthy planet, promoting youth
movement, and enhancing youth nutrition aligns with Life Time's
mission to help people live healthy, happy lives, and with those of
our partner organizations," said Sarah
Emola, Director of the Life Time Foundation. "We look
forward to participating in and contributing to the community
during and beyond Miami Marathon weekend."
