Matcha and Miles: Orlando’s Most Refreshing Run Event

by Central Florida Run Club

There’s something special about starting your Sunday with a good run, great people, and an iced matcha waiting at the finish line. That’s exactly what Matcha and Miles delivers – a running experience in Orlando, Florida, where community meets caffeine. Organized by Chosen Few Run Club (CFRC), this event is open to runners of all paces and serves as a perfect blend of fitness and fun.

What’s Matcha and Miles All About?

Matcha and Miles is a 3-mile group run that takes you through some of Orlando’s most iconic spots, including Lake Eola Park, Lake Eola Heights, and the Arts District. The scenic route showcases the city’s vibrant charm while giving participants a chance to connect with each other.

The run begins with a warm-up and light stretching, setting the tone for an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Once the group sets off, runners can go at their own pace, whether they’re chasing a PR or simply enjoying a leisurely jog.

The Best Part: Coffee and Community

The run ends at Deeply Coffee, a cozy and modern cafe that’s quickly become a local favorite. Here, participants can unwind with their drink of choice – whether it’s a refreshing iced matcha, a smooth latte, or a classic cup of black coffee. This post-run gathering is where the magic happens: conversations flow, friendships form, and the sense of community grows stronger with every event.
