Iron Horse Endurance Runs

The Iron Horse Endurance Runs is a 28 hour race. All three events must be completed within 28 hours.

The course consists of a 25 mile out and back on an unimproved rail trail. The course is flat with grassy and gravel surface. No hills, shaded. 100 milers do it 4 times, 100km 2.5 times and 50 milers 2 times.

Applicants for the 100 mile event must have completed a 50 mile race since January 1 or provide other proof of adequate conditioning and/or suitable running history.

100 mile entrants will be weighed at check in and again at 75 miles. If body weight has fluctuated more than 7% then runner will be required to stop and rehydrate or take nourishment. Whether runner will be allowed to continue is solely at the discretion of the race medical staff. (Florida is humid even in February.)

There are crew points at about five spots on the course. Pacers only during the last half of your race. No bicycles are allowed on the course.

There will be three manned and stocked aid stations with drink and food. There will be one un-manned station on East V Road with water only. Food will consist of PB&J sandwiches, potatoes, chips, candy, cookies, bananas/oranges,etc. Drink will be water and HEED.

Party Central: As with all Iron Horse races, party central will be at the start/finish line. We will have burgers, brats, beer, etc. for runners and their families at no charge. Burn barrels will be going all night.
