Key West may be known for its tropical climate and its party atmosphere, but it also has so much more going for it. While one can imagine that some of those things would be the island’s rich historical aspect and world-renowned fishing for obvious reasons, one may not think that it is a destination for sports related events. And with that tropical climate, it should be! And actually, you will find these athletic events happening year round all up and down the Florida Keys.
Below are a list of the events that are as of now on schedule. Keep in mind that this schedule is subject to change. But, it should help in planning your vacation to the Keys. Maybe you can even sign up for one of these events if they fall in line with your vacation plans. And at the very least, please be aware that runner or bikers may be on the roadways, so be very careful! Honestly, I knew that we had a lot of these types of events in the Keys, but to see them all in one list was actually pretty staggering to me.
