Moving away from the beach, runners head to the lush chain of islands known as the Venetian Isles. They then make their way past Miami's cultural centrepiece, the Miami Center for Performing Arts before passing through the clubbing district. Here they will see Gesu Church, Miami's first Catholic church, located close to the half-way stage.
