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 … MORE

    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.

    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.

    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
