Brickell Running Route

As a way to excercise and to decompress from the pressures of starting my own business I’ve taken to running, cycling and competing in Triathlons over the summer. Not only is it a good way to decompress and get some excercise in but also a great way take in some of the amazing scenery that Brickell and the Rickenbacker Causeway have to offer.

I usually prefer running one of two very scenic routes. One takes you around Brickell Key and the other up and over the William M. Powel bridge on Rickenbacker Causeway for spectacular views of the Brickell skyline and Biscayne Bay.

Both running circuits begin on the corner of SE 15 th Rd and Brickell Ave. I’ve mapped out (as best possible) the routes and the approximate mileage at various points along the route below. If you’re taking the Rickenbacker Causeway route, I’d recommend you take a sharp left on the sidewalk right before reaching the overpass that precedes the very busy intersection of Brickell Ave and the entrance to Rickenbacker Causeway. That path will take you under the Rickenbacker Causeway and out the other side where you can continue your run without having to cross any streets.
