Prepare for a vibrant summer challenge at the Heatwave Half Marathon - Orlando, set for Sunday, July 26, 2026, in sunny Orlando, FL. This family-friendly event, hosted by Bodies Race Company, offers a distance for every runner and walker, including a Half Marathon, Half Marathon Relay, 10K, 5K, 1 Mile, and a Kids Dash. Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 92°F and lows near 76°F, with a 25% chance of precipitation, ensuring a true "sun-soaked summer challenge".
Runners can anticipate an exciting day with "fun courses" developed through partnerships with local parks, designed to be enjoyable for all paces.

Every registration includes fantastic swag: a designer shirt, a custom finisher medal, chip-timing with live results, awards, and complimentary race photos. To help you cool down after crossing the finish line, free ice cream or Kona Ice will be waiting.
Beyond the race itself, the Heatwave Half Marathon stands out for its inclusive atmosphere, offering youth-based pricing for participants 12 and under, and a virtual race option for those unable to attend in person. The event fosters a community spirit, making it a perfect opportunity to achieve your running goals alongside friends and family.
