Get ready for a memorable adventure through Florida’s wild and scenic trails! This run is sure to be unlike any other trail adventure you’ve ever had, as this race is meant to take you to places even locals have not been to! Explore 99% of the trails in Tosohatchee, Charles Bronson State Forest, Seminole Ranch, Little Big Econ State Forest and then some. This is old Florida…The Forgotten Florida!
The Routes
This may be the most unique and scenic race in Florida.. There’s a lot of very runnable sections. This race presents a variety of challenges perfect for seasoned athletes and newer runners alike. The route is a mix of rarely traveled single track meandering through the Tosohatchee and Seminole Ranch palm groves and pine flat woods. These woods are home to the most beautiful miles of trail in the state!
Wildlife
Runners will likely have many opportunities to see a variety of birds. Tosohatchee and Seminole Ranch are home to hundreds of types of birds: from herrons and cranes to bald eagles and spoonbills! This place is simply magical beyond words. And though you are in Florida, rest assured that you will not be wading through a swamp with gators and snakes everywhere! There may be some mud, grass and roots here and there, (and we feel this adds to the fun and challenge of the run!) but this is not a swamp run.

Beautiful course! My first impression getting onto the trail was that I was stepping on a ride at Universal for Jurassic Park. This is a point to point run where the trails are well marked. The race directors do a good job with extra markings to help with runners confidence you are on the right trail. It rained a lot on race day, so the trail was extra muddy. There is also a 1.5mile bog you go through, which will be there whether it rains or not. Expect to get at least knee deep in the mud multiple times. The race directors do an excellent job getting info to runners as to what to expect on the course. Aid stations are well stocked with great volunteers. If you are looking for a 50 or 100mile trail run in FL, this is a good one.
