NOT YOUR TYPICAL BACKYARD ULTRA!

Race Format — Not Your Traditional Backyard Ultra

Zeb's Paradise is a backyard-style, self-paced endurance event with a tropical twist!

Unlike a traditional backyard ultra, there are no hourly starts, mandatory hourly distances, or eliminations for taking breaks.

How it works:

Course: 3.125-mile loop through Dunns Creek State Park.

Your Pace: Run, walk, rest, and start your next loop whenever you're ready.

Time Limits: Complete your selected distance within your event's designated time limit.

Live Timing: Florida Race Day will track completed loops, with a live results screen at the start/finish area.

Bring the island vibes! Hawaiian shirts, tropical prints, and beach-themed outfits are encouraged. Just make sure your gear is comfortable and safe for trail running.

About the Event — Running for Zeb

ONE COURSE. ONE COMMUNITY. ONE PURPOSE.

February 20, 2027 | Dunns Creek State Park | Pomona Park, FL

Zeb's Paradise Endurance Festival brings runners together for a beach-themed day and night of trail running, community, and purpose.

Our 3.125-mile loop features natural Florida trails, sandy terrain, and shaded wooded sections. Whether you're running for fun or chasing 100 miles, every lap brings you back to the heart of the festival.

Why We Run

In 2026, Zeb was diagnosed with ALS, a progressive neurological disease that has significantly changed life for him, his wife Ashley, and their family.

Zeb is a husband, father, friend, and someone who has spent years investing in others. Now it's our turn to support him.

This event is independently organized, with proceeds benefiting Zeb's Help Hope Live fundraising campaign to assist with the financial challenges his family faces.

Every registration helps us rally around Zeb and his family.

FOR ZEB. FOR HIS FAMILY. FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT.
