OUC Orlando Half Marathon Weekend : December 3–6, 2026, Downtown Orlando
The event is a multi-day running weekend in downtown Orlando centered on Lake Eola Park with races and an expo. Distances offered include:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- DTO 16.2 Challenge combines the half marathon and 5K over two days
The half marathon route runs through scenic downtown streets and finishes at Lake Eola Park. Course support includes nine water stops placed approximately every 1.5 miles with Gatorade available, two portable restrooms at each water stop, one food stop near mile 8.5, two on-course tents near miles 5 and 10 staffed with EMTs and self-serve supplies, and bike medics. Entertainment and live music are provided on course and at a lakeside post-race party that features beverage service.
The half marathon offers pace groups for a range of target finish times and seeded corral placement for athletes who meet qualifying times. The course has a 3.5 hour time limit and a maximum permitted pace of 15 minutes per mile; participants who cannot maintain that pace may be moved to the sidewalk and may not receive full course support or an official finish time.
The weekend includes an expo and bib pickup at The Plaza Live, a virtual-race option, and participant swag by distance. The event lists a $23,000 prize purse and a Fastest Floridians prize category. The race received Gold Level Certification from the Council for Responsible Sport for 2024 and is undergoing evaluations in 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
