Frankie Ruiz is 100% Miami, through and through. And, if you live in the #305, then you likely know Frankie, too.

But, if the name isn’t ringing a bell, then let us give you a hint, THINK: Miami Marathon. Yeah, that Frankie. The running man!

Born and raised in the county of Dade, Frankie has successfully created, curated, and completed one of the most well-known and beloved community events, THE Miami Marathon. Amassing a field of 25,000 runners, Frankie was fresh out of college when he thought to combine his love of running with his passion for the 305.  And now, 20 years later – here we are.

On this latest episode of our TrowBiz podcast, Mark chats it up with his long-time friend, colleague and compatriot, Frankie Ruiz. A beloved evangelist for the Greater Miami community, Frankie is a young and dynamic business owner who attributes his love for South Florida to his father, who immigrated to Miami many years ago and taught him to love his hometown.

Now sit back, fire-up your airpods, lace up those running shoes and join us on this journey as we experience Miami through Frankie’s eyes.
