Life Time Miami Marathon Selects Artist Laelanie Larach
for 2025 Medal Ribbon Design

Decade-long tradition showcases local artists
whose designs reflect the spirit of Miami

MIAMI, December 9, 2024 - Miami artist Laelanie Larach built her reputation
in South Florida through her unique abstract oil paintings that became
known as "coastal art." Vibrant, colorful and hand-painted, Larach's works
are eye-catching - and the South Florida art community has taken notice.

Her art also caught the attention of the team from the Life Time Miami
Marathon & Half presented by FP Movement, which has selected Larach as the
featured artist to design its medal ribbon for the renowned event taking
place February 2, 2025.

The Life Time Miami Marathon & Half has become known throughout the global
running community for its unique finisher medals and ribbons. Larach joins
a lineup of elite local artists who have had their work showcased on the
necks of every runner who crosses the finish line at the annual event. A
tradition since 2012, the medal ribbons are an ode to the vibrant culture
and city that bring the Life Time Miami Marathon & Half to life.

"What an honor that they chose me to create a painting that represents the
Marathon and the vibe of Miami, everything that is Tropical," Larach said.
"I've been part of Art Basel and many art fairs here in Miami, but I have
never had 18,000 people wearing my art. I'm planning to go to the race. Its
surreal, super exciting."

Attached to the custom ribbon, the 2025 finisher medal was also designed
with intention. Reflecting on the powerful connection between mind and
body, the medal celebrates the interconnectedness of every participant who
takes on the race, as more than just an individual.

"Her work emulates the geometric style of the medal this year," Miami
Marathon Senior Marketing Manager Samantha Bailey said of Larach.. "Her
brush strokes had a shape to them that was similar to the intricacies
featured in the medal design. Our theme this year is highlighting the mind
and body connection, and how each participant has contributed a piece to
the whole that is the Miami Marathon today. Laelanie's work represents
that."

Born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, Larach grew up painting from the age of
eight, helping her mother - a schoolteacher - create cartoons for her
students. She found inspiration in the beautiful combination of mountains,
tropical forests, and sandy beaches of Honduras. In her earliest works she
used pastels, watercolors, and charcoal. After winning several art
contests, she was inspired to expand her work into the medium of oil on
canvas.

The Miami Marathon ribbon was pulled from an original 36 X 36 oil painting
titled "Tropical Sunsets and Palm Trees."

"The entire concept is tropical," Larach explains. "You can see sunsets and
palm trees and it has a lot of movement. The palm trees have movement. They
follow the sun and the ocean waves under a blue sky. It's a tropical vibe.
It's three worlds that merge into one piece of art."
