Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon

Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in Celebration, Florida, on January 31, 2027, with the marathon (26.2 miles) and the half marathon (13.1 miles) both starting at 7 a.m. The certified course is a Boston qualifier and runs through a scenic neighborhood. Every participant receives a shirt, a medal and a blanket, and local restaurants supply the post race food, pancakes for everyone included.

A certified qualifier at the end of January is worth planning a season around: build for sixteen weeks with a weekly long run and a regular dose of marathon pace running, and keep the half in reserve in case the block gets interrupted. The event raises money for scholarships for Osceola County students and supports local nonprofits, so entering puts something back into the community that hosts the race.
