Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon
Celebration, United States · Sunday 31 January 2027
The Town of Celebration Marathon on January 31, 2027 offers one of the flattest courses you'll find, with only gentle rolling terrain across a USATF-certified route through a Forbes-recognized neighborhood in Florida. If you're chasing a Boston qualifier, this is a serious opportunity: nearly 20 percent of the 2022 marathon field went sub-qualifying time on this course. The 42.2-kilometer distance stays low in elevation throughout, ranging between 21 and 28 meters above sea level, which means you can focus on your effort rather than fighting hills. With registration opening July 1st and the race drawing from over a decade of organized editions, this is a well-established event worth marking on your calendar if you're targeting a fast marathon or want to experience what a truly runnable course feels like.
