Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon 2027

The Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon is a small January race held in Celebration, Florida. This planned town is located five minutes from Disney World and approximately twenty minutes from Orlando International Airport. Participants can select either the marathon or the half marathon. The marathon course is USATF-certified, qualifying it as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The weather typically suits runners for Florida, with average race-day temperatures between the high 40s and low 70s Fahrenheit. The event prioritizes straightforward logistics and personal engagement over a large-city scale. The course winds through a neighborhood recognized by Forbes as one of America’s prettiest. Organizers state it may be the flattest course a runner will encounter. This flat profile is significant: in a recent event, almost one in five marathon finishers qualified for Boston. Pace teams are available to assist runners targeting specific finish times. Post-race amenities include shirts, medals, blankets, complimentary photo downloads, meals from local eateries, pancakes, mimosas, and Michelob Ultra. Proceeds from the race support scholarships for students throughout Osceola County and benefit local community organizations and nonprofits, having distributed over $1 million since the event's inception.
