When an event bears your nɑme, there’s considerable pressure to excel, and Serena Williams rose to the occasion on Sunday during the Serena Williams Ultimate Run in Miami’s vibrant South Beach.

Donning micro shorts, the formidable tennis champion effortlessly navigated the quarter marathon course, with her sister Venus also participating. Serena, aged 33, opted for an all-black Nike outfit consisting of shorts and a zip-up top, accessorized with a matching black headband to keep her long, dark hair away from her face.

As the world’s number one in wоmen’s singles tennis, Serena showcased her long, muscular legs as she tackled the route with determined focus. Venus, aged 34, brought a pop of color to the event in a hоt pink top and patterned Lycra capri pants, showing her support for her younger sister.

Following the race, the siblings still had energy left for a round of karaoke. Serena revealed that the idea to host a race came to her after participating in a 5k run in Palm Beach, Florida, last Thanksgiving. All proceeds from the event went to the Serena Williams Foundation, benefiting underprivileged children.

Expressing her love for running, Serena emphasized its role in promoting a healthy lifestyle and enhancing endurance on the tennis court. While she prefers shorter distances like the 5k, she acknowledged the impressive feat of her friend Caroline Wozniaki completing the New York marathon in under three and a half hours. When asked about tackling a marathon herself, Serena humorously responded on Twitter, citing her physique as a deterrent.
