Come to the quaint town of Mount Dora for a run, filled with tree lined vistas of waterfront neighborhoods and lake-hugging roadways. Catch the rising sun through the gracefully swaying Spanish moss and watch the breeze dapple the lake’s surface with flashes of sunlight. The gentle rolling hills give this course a uniqueness of its own. From the start to finish, you’’ll remember the Mount Dora Half Marathon and 5K as the event you will not want to miss.
This event offers 2 walk/run distances, 5k run/walk on Saturday and a single loop half marathon on Sunday. The half marathon is a USATF Certified Course (#FL12108EBM). The course will be closed to vehicular traffic from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM. The finish line will remain open until the last runner completes the race, and medals will be awarded to ALL finishers regardless of when they finish to all 5K & half marathon participants. All half marathon participants must be able to complete the half marathon under 3:30 minutes.
Portion of the proceeds from from the event helps support FFA of Mount Dora High school, and Run 4 a Cause Foundation, a foundation that provides disadvantaged youth with the opportunity to play in local sports programs.

Great run, course was up and down so if your a flat runner it will be tougher than normal run. The views of the lake were nice and the town is very involved with the run.
Nice half marathon
Holiday themed race. Mr and Mrs Claus are at the start/finish. Lots of Holiday music and decorations. The course is hillier than I expected but scenic through nice neighborhoods. MORE

Very nice local half, great crowds, awesome pre-race environment as it is around the holidays. Course is a little wonky, but you won’t get lost. Hills and inclines keep your body guessing what is coming next. The last leg goes along Lake Dora for a couple of miles to a turnaround and then back to downtown. Lots of water stops, really enjoyable race.

Good hometown race
A little hilly, finishes right downtown, great crowd support and pleasant weather. Runs along the waterfront of Lake Dora for a bit. Nice Christmas themed race. MORE
