Miami, 30 May 2024 – On the occasion of the Italian National Day organised by the Consulate General of Italy, and in the presence of the Consul General Michele Mistò, the Biltmore Hotel Country Club of Coral Gables, Miami hosted the presentation of the upcoming schedule of the most beautiful race in the world: in autumn (from 22 to 27 October 2024), Warm UP USA, and next winter (from 22 to 25 February 2025), Experience Florida.

The 1000 Miglia, also known as The Red Arrow, is worldwide considered an Italian excellence at international level and celebrates the history of the race which has fascinated the world for almost a century since 1927. This legacy of audacious, far-sighted, pioneering, courageous figures is in the very DNA of the 1000 Miglia, which today brings the spirit of the Race beyond Italian borders, offering a winning mix of tradition, innovation, creativity, elegance, beautiful landscapes and lifestyle.

Now in its fifth edition, the 1000 Miglia Warm UP USA event, scheduled to take place from 22 to 27 October and based in Middleburg, Virginia, will offer a limited number of crews the chance to prepare effectively to tackle the classic regularity trials, as well as a series of resources indispensable for getting the most from the sporting aspect of the Race, which takes place in Italy. With 5-star hospitality provided by the Salamander Resort & Spa, the event will cover the hills and vineyards of Virginia and West Virginia, the Congressional Country Club in Maryland, the Summit Point circuit, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah National Park, before entering Italian soil at the Italian Embassy in the centre of Washington D.C.

Two car classes will be accepted for the event: 1000 Miglia Era (vehicles built between 1927 and 1957) and Post 1000 Miglia Era (from 1958 to the present). The top two finishers in the various categories will receive the 8 guarantees of acceptance for the 1000 Miglia 2025, in accordance with the entry regulations.

On 22 February 2025, Miami will witness the start of the first edition of the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida, the format for official 1000 Miglia style events that allows Red Arrow enthusiasts to learn and find out more about the rules of the race, savouring the atmosphere in exclusive settings and custom formats.
Embodying a number of founding values of the 1000 Miglia, such as innovation and technological development, the 1000 Miglia Experience offers the chance for even modern vehicles to race alongside more prestigious classic cars, in accordance with the race guidelines and with top-level services.

After setting out from the Magic City, the route will make its way along the roads that run through the Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve to Naples, before heading north through Sanibel Island, Fort Myers, Venice, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa, and continuing through Brooksville, Orlando and Cape Canaveral. Continuing south towards West Palm Beach, along the iconic A1A, the finishing line in Miami is set to be a striking experience, with one of the most emblematic spots in the city welcoming finishers.
The car classes accepted have been confirmed as 1000 Miglia Era (vehicles built between 1927 and 1957) and Post 1000 Miglia Era (from 1958 to the present). Guarantees of acceptance to the 1000 Miglia 2026 will be awarded to the winners of the various categories, as per the entry regulations.

The unique charm of the 1000 Miglia race has always attracted leading figures from the world of sport, industry and entertainment, for whom taking part in the Red Arrow is a matter of pride.
However, the hallmark and the success of the 1000 Miglia have always been represented above all by the enthusiasm of the spectators who wait to welcome the cars in the race as they pass by.
