DETAILS
This is a FAT ASS ULTRA 50K and 30k event, there is no registration fee. Due to the limited availability of parking, participation will be capped. The number of participants has been increased to 75 runners for 2025. I ask that you carpool if possible.
The run starts at the Pat's Island Trailhead in the Ocala Nation Forest (just outside Salt Springs) and will take you across some of the most scenic and oldest sections of the Florida Trail. During the run you will get to see the beautiful Juniper and Hopkins Prairies located in the Juniper Wilderness area. This area is host to abundant wildlife, rare plants, and amazing history.
The course is two out and back runs, first you will run south 8.8 miles to Juniper Springs Recreation area (17.6 miles roundtrip) come back to the start point and then north 7.25 miles (14.5 miles roundtrip).
NOTE: The 30k route runs only the south half of the course.
