Someone else mentioned in another thread that they're coming up to do a couple Disney races, and I got to thinking about race options here in the area. I do 5K and 10K distances, and my husband does up to half-marathon distances. Naturally we've done a lot of Disney races, but I'm curious if people have other races at those distances that they love.

I race lots of 5Ks. I tend to do the ones that are closer to where I live, which is approx 20 mins NW or Orlando.

Look for the Mt Dora 5K and the Silver Lake 5K (I think Lake-Sumter State College sponsors that one.)

There are a few more but I can't think of them right now.

There are tons of them. Check in with Fleet Feet in Altamonte--they maintain a list.

Yeah, especially with the 5K, those things are growing up like weeds. We've done some good ones and we've done a couple that…well, that's an hour of life that we're not getting back! I've heard that the Hot Chocolate 5K is coming to town at some point, so I'm thinking about that, and the one where you chase Santa all through Winter Garden ('cause the guy totally owes me a pony from when I was a kid!).

I see you're in Windermere, TrinRun puts on a bunch of 5ks and 10ks in the Winter Garden / Oakland / Clermont areas.

Turkey Trot 5k and the Disney Half are good.

http://www.runningintheusa.com/ has pretty much every race out there listed by month and state.You click on races and then the state of Florida and you can go month by month looking at races from 5K to Full marathons and longer.It's crazy how many races are out there.
