Life Time Miami Marathon Selects Courtney Einhorn for 2026 Medal Ribbon Design

December 2, 2025

The Miami-based artist drew from 13 years of inspiration to create a one-of-a-kind work

MIAMI, FL (December 2, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Miami-based artist Courtney Einhorn will infuse her signature vibrant style into the 2026 Life Time Miami Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement by designing the event’s iconic medal ribbon. The race, set for January 25, 2026, will welcome 18,500 runners from 50 states and more than 70 countries to the streets of Downtown Miami, South Beach, and Coconut Grove.

The Life Time Miami Marathon & Half is celebrated worldwide for its distinctive finisher medals and ribbons. Since 2012, elite local artists have been featured on these coveted keepsakes, and Einhorn now joins this renowned lineup.

“It was surreal to be chosen,” Einhorn said. “This ribbon will be something runners keep for the rest of their lives – a visual of their accomplishment. Being from Miami makes it even more special.”

A Journey from Speech Pathology to Art

In 2013, Einhorn left her career as a speech pathologist to pursue her lifelong passion for painting. Over the past 13 years, her work has appeared across South Florida – on murals, buses, merchandise, storefronts, and even construction machinery – and she has collaborated with major brands including Swatch, Birkenstock, Cirque Du Soleil, Dyson, LIFEWTR, and The Miami Heat.

Her design for the 2026 ribbon draws from five paintings created throughout her career, inspired by Miami’s vibrant colors and iconic scenery. Runners will see these elements reflected in the ribbon:

• The rising sun over the MacArthur Causeway
• Palm trees along Ocean Drive
• Downtown Miami’s skyline
• Sailboats and peacocks of Coconut Grove
• And hearts, symbolizing the passion and commitment every runner brings to the race.

“Not only is running great for the heart, but every runner pours their whole heart into this experience,” Einhorn said. “I’m honored to be part of that journey.”
