You've run through ancient scrub forests older than civilization. You've chased the ghost of Ponce de León through America's oldest city. You've faced the wild heart of the Everglades. You've raced alongside rocket launches at the edge of space. Now it's time to claim your freedom. US Highway 1 stretches 113 miles from the Florida mainland through 42 bridges, across 30 islands, over the most breathtaking open water in America — to Key West, the Southernmost Point in the continental United States. This is the road that connects paradise to the rest of the world. And you're going to run every mile of it. Log your miles over 90 days. Watch your avatar leave Florida City and cross into the Florida Keys at Key Largo. Feel the energy shift as civilization fades and open water takes over. Push through Islamorada — the sport fishing capital of the world. Cross Marathon and look out at nothing but turquoise Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Then comes the Seven Mile Bridge. Nothing prepares you for the Seven Mile Bridge. Seven miles of open road suspended over open ocean with the wind in your face and the horizon stretching endlessly in every direction. This is the moment every Keys to Freedom finisher remembers forever. Cross the Lower Keys. Pass through Big Pine Key where Key deer roam freely. Watch the mile markers count down — 20, 15, 10, 5 — until finally, at Mile Marker Zero, you arrive at the most famous corner in Florida. The Southernmost Point. Key West. 90 miles to Cuba. The end of the road. The beginning of your legend. You didn't just finish a race. You ran the length of the Florida Keys. You earned your freedom
