The OUC Half Marathon is an extremely popular road race in Southeast, traversing stunning downtown Orlando before finishing at Lake Eola. This 13.1 mile run / walk route boasts breathtaking scenery along its journey and boasts one of the highest participation rates of any Southeast road event.
Makenna Myler completed this year's OUC Half Marathon while six months pregnant, running through pain to win both medals and trophies for her efforts.
13.1 Miles of Fun
The OUC Half Marathon is an incredible race held in Orlando's heart. Beginning from Causeway Cove Marina and weaving its way through downtown before finishing on scenic Lake Eola, this course offers plenty of support on every leg of its journey. I would definitely recommend it as a fun way to get some exercise while experiencing this vibrant city!

Great Organization
Track Shack and Orlando-based company OUC-The Reliable One did an outstanding job organizing an enjoyable race while adhering to current CDC safety protocols in order to reduce COVID-19 transmission on course and ensure participant, volunteer, and neighborhood safety.
Starting the race in corrals based on projected pace times made the experience easy for runners, making it simple for them to reach the starting line and stay with the pack. I commend this strategy of race organization; hopefully this trend continues into future years!
Organizers did an outstanding job of keeping runners informed and the route well-marked, providing plenty of support on and after the course with water, Gatorade, bananas, granola bars, clementines and chocolate milk for runners as they crossed. There was even a tent where runners could get their photos taken! Finally there was a wonderful Lake Eola party featuring live music following the race!
This year's race achieved Gold level certification from the Council for Responsible Sport, marking an upgrade from their Silver certification last year. I think this demonstrates just how dedicated both the race and its partners are to not just adopting sustainable practices but fostering local awareness of issues like transit, waste minimization and energy conservation.
On Saturday morning, thousands of runners raced through downtown Orlando in the OUC Half Marathon and Barney Butter Lake Eola 5K. It marked the first in-person running event since COVID-19 pandemic first hit, something runners such as Makenna Myler were glad to see again.
