The FitBit Miami Marathon and Half Marathon will start at 5:45 a.m. on Sunday, January 27. But before then, participants will need a lot of energy! And by energy… we mean carbs.
Lucky for them, Scarpetta by Scott Conant {4441 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 877.326.7412}, at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, has just the thing. All weekend long, leading up to the big race, runners can indulge in the Italian restaurant’s “Carb-Up” prix-fixe menu, which will include three courses of the restaurant’s most popular, most delicious, and most carb-heavy dishes.
