Independence Double (3.1M-316M) - Jun 27, 2026 | Winter Park, FL

Embrace a unique, runner-centric experience at the Independence Double, set to take place on June 27, 2026, in scenic Winter Park, FL. This event offers a diverse range of distances, including a 50K (31.06M), Marathon (26.2M), Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K (6.2M), and 5K (3.1M), appealing to both seasoned ultrarunners and those looking for a casual community run. Known for its low-key, "no-frills" approach, the Independence Double focuses on the joy of running with guaranteed accurate distances and affordable entry fees, rather than extensive swag or elaborate fanfare. It's an ideal choice for first-timers, though not a certified course or Boston qualifier.

The course itself features flat, largely shaded laps along a paved urban run/bike trail, beginning and ending at Cady Way Park. Marathon, Half Marathon, and 50K participants will complete multiple 2.2-mile loops, while 5K and 10K runners will tackle 1.55-mile laps, ensuring frequent interactions with fellow participants and supporters at the start/finish area. Aid station support, located exclusively at the start/finish, is generous, offering chilled water, Gatorade, soda, and a variety of sweet and salty snacks. Given typical race day conditions with highs around 92F and lows around 75F, and a 25% chance of precipitation, the event thoughtfully provides ice, pickles, olives, and pickle juice to combat the Florida heat. Runners should note it's a cupless race and are encouraged to bring their own hydration devices.

With convenient parking, a small pavilion for drop bags and cheering sections, and a generous 9.5-hour time limit for longer distances, the Independence Double cultivates a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Early morning starts (5:00 am for longer races, 6:00 am for shorter) might mean some dimly lit sections on the initial lap, so a personal light is recommended. This event stands out for those seeking an authentic running challenge and a strong sense of camaraderie.
