We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Miami Riverwalk yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Recreational area popular for walking or running along a path toward Bayfront Park.
What runners say about Miami Riverwalk
“This trail offers great views, a peaceful walk with the towers insulating you from the harsh city sounds, and there are nice pieces of art that line the walls and pathways.”

My wife and I enjoyed the river walk on our recent trip to Miami! They were finishing the walkway when we were there hopefully they get that done soon. If you want a nice, leisurely stroll along the water while in Miami, I recommend you check out the river walk!
A good stroll walking or running to Bayfront Park. Can be really windy in cloudy days or warm in sunny days. Path and park is spacious and clean. A good place to just wind down and walk with your loved ones while enjoying the view and breeze from the bay. End point at Bayfront, enjoy cold drinks while shopping.
While there is some construction in areas I really enjoyed these walks everyday. Beautiful views of downtown near the water. There is wall art in many places and benches to stop for either a break or just to take in the beautiful views. I would walk from Brickell over the bridge to Bayside Marketplace.
This trail offers great views, a peaceful walk with the towers insulating you from the harsh city sounds, and there are nice pieces of art that line the walls and pathways. It felt pretty safe, even if you're walking alone at night.
