Metrorail charges $2 per trip.  Only EASY Cards or EASY Tickets are accepted at the Metrorail fare gates, so runners are encouraged to purchase (or load an existing) EASY Card or EASY Ticket before the ING Race.

To avoid long lines the day of the event, Miami-Dade Transit encourages participants to purchase their EASY Card or EASY Ticket prior to January 27.

EASY Cards and EASY Tickets can be conveniently purchased at the Nissan Health & Fitness Expo January 25 and 26, 2013 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. 

Both the EASY Card and EASY Ticket are always available at EASY Card vending machines located at all Metrorail stations, the Golden Glades Park & Ride Lot and at EASY Card Sales Outlets throughout Miami-Dade. Runners are encouraged to load $4 on their EASY Cards or EASY Tickets, ensuring them a round trip for the day.  Parking at Metrorail stations will be free on the day of the ING Marathon.
