Orange Blossom Half Marathon

Lace up for an unforgettable journey through the heart of "Old Florida" at the AdventHealth Orange Blossom Half Marathon in scenic Frostproof, taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This unique event invites runners to traverse gently rolling, hard-packed red clay roads that meander through active and historic citrus groves, offering breathtaking views and a truly immersive experience.
