Island Dash
Lace up and soak in the island vibes at the 48th Annual Key Biscayne Lighthouse 10K/5K Run. Set against the backdrop of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park and its iconic lighthouse, this course winds through breezy coastal paths and charming tree-lined roads, making every mile feel like an adventure. Water stations and mile markers keep things smooth, but the real fun begins once you cross the finish line. Think good food, ice-cold drinks (yes, the grown-up kind, too), live music, and that unbeatable post-race buzz. Stretch out, grab a complimentary massage, and toast to the day with fellow runners. It’s more than a race — it’s a celebration of fitness, community, and ocean-kissed memories; KBLHR.com.
Cultural Buzz
Get ready for Rastrillo 305, a festive mash-up of food, music, art, and community spirit in Key Biscayne. Wander a bazaar filled with tantalizing bites, live beats, gallery-style exhibits, and cultural flair — open to everyone of all ages. Behind the scenes, every ticket supports the International Studies Foundation’s work in education, sports and youth development across Miami. This is more than an event — it’s a gathering that connects, inspires and uplifts. Bring your friends, your appetite, your dancing shoes (optional…but highly encouraged!), and your passion for good times with a purpose to celebrate culture, connection, and generosity; Nov. 15; Rastrillo305.org.
