Across Florida Trail 200

The 1st Annual Across Florida 200 mile Endurance Trail Run across the State of Florida. Challenge yourself with 110 miles of the Florida Trail, 30 miles of State Park trails, 40 Miles dirt roads, 14 miles of road, and a 6 miles beach run to the finish. Brought to you by the ARGEORGIA.COM, Florida State Parks, and the City of St. Augustine.
This is not just a race; it is an unforgettable event! The best time of the year in Florida with temps in the 70's with a beautiful finish location on the beach in the oldest city in America. Fully supported race with 11 stocked aid stations, 7 crew stations, 4 water drops, and 3 sleep locations with provided tents set up for racers. Also, shuttle service available from the host hotel to the start location on the West Coast on race day if you have no support crew. The main goal of this event is to collect sand from the west coast and bring it to the finish on the east coast in a provided sand capsule that we provide. Racers must transport the sand capsule the entire way and once at the finish, you will top off the sand capsule with sand from the east coast to complete the journey. Don't worry, the capsule is only 3 inches tall and will fit in an amazing keepsake at the finish.
NEVER STEP FOOT ON THE SAME TRAIL TWICE DURING THIS RACE, NO OUT AND BACKS, NO LOOPS OR REPEATS. THIS IS A "TRUE" POINT TO POINT CHALLENGE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL: REFUNDS, DEFERMENTS AND TRANSFER AVAILABLE PER REQUEST.
NO MANDATORY VOLUNTEER HOURS REQUIRED FOR ANY OF OUR RACES, HOWEVER, WELCOMED AND GREATLY APPRECIATED.
