I have run this race every year, and have completed every distance, with the exception of the 100K, which is no longer offered. This is one of the toughest trails you’ll find in Florida. Thankfully, it is in my hometown, so I get plenty of practice on it. Just shy of 7 miles of twists, turn and hills on a beautiful mountain bike trail. Adding to the difficulty, the 10K starts in the afternoon, which is sometimes toasty in FL.
Race director is super welcoming and encouraging. Pre-race communication is thorough. Freshly prepared post-race food (pulled pork sandwiches this year). All racers receive a shirt, and all finishers get a wooden finisher medal and “Swamp Survivor” magnet.

This 50k consists of 5 laps around a BMX bike trail and comes complete with tons of rolling hills, steep hills, roots, shells, rocks, and soft pine needles. If you are looking for a challenging 50K trail race, this race is for you. For finishing, we got a handtowel and a magnet that lists all the events (10k/50k/100k). Was disappointing since this was my first.
