The Why

We wanted to create a premier event that would bring runners from all over together to enjoy miles in NE Florida. It was pivotal to that we allowed ample time for runners to reach their goals whether it is their first ultra, first 100-mile buckle or push themselves for more miles than they have ever done before.

Join us in Middleburg, FL (just outside of Jax) at the Clay County Regional Sports Complex for a weekend full of fun with running, vendors, and other shenanigans. This sure to be a fun and inspiring weekend. We will have some neat Valentines giveaways as well and some sort of Presidents Day Theme as well!

Only Mike Martinez or Russell Hartzell can authorize the exception.

Sanitation Protocols

Unfortunately, we're still living in the era with covid and other diseases, so we need to be safe to protect our runners and our volunteer staff. At each aid station we will have volunteers available to ensure that all hydration igloos will be sanitized adequately.

There will be an aid station at the start/finish area with the standard Ultra fare and we will have Skratch electrolytes and a stockade of pickle juice.

All runners will need to bring their own bottles, hydration vest with bladder or collapsible cup to the event.
