NOTE!!! We are still confirming the final details for the event.

We have dates locked in but we are waiting for finalization of the permit. This is a brand new complex and we are waiting for the county commissioners to approve the usage fees. They were supposed to approve fees on 9/10 but they tabled it to their 9/24 meeting. As soon as the fees are approved we will open registration. We are so excited for this event that it is driving us nuts not being able to open registration!

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!

Registration Fees

Registration will be open 9/14 but Credit Cards will not be charged until we receive final permit and facility costs for the event (likely 9/25). You will receive an email that you have selected for the race and will have to accept, then your credit card will be charged. Anyone who registers prior to 9/25 will receive the advertised price even if facility fees are higher that estimated.

This map is a draft and a better quality map will be created shortly.

Timing

Timing for this event will be provided by the ultra famous MCM Timing owned by Mike Melton. They time many of the communities largest events like Lazarus Lake's Big Dogs Backyard World Championships in Tennessee and Aravaipa's "Across the Years" in Arizona.

Pacers

The only runners that are allowed to have pacers are runners doing the 24 and 48 hour events. Pacers are only allowed after the runner has completed 12 hours and they must register with the RD or staff. We will allow exceptions on a case-by-case basis if there is a special need. Only Mike Martinez or Russell Hartzell can authorize the exception.

Medical

There will medical personnel on site for the full 48 hrs lead by Laura Goff who is a runner and has over 20+ years of experience in Emergency Medicine. She has lead medical teams for too many races in the Jax area to count. We are in good hands!

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.

Aid Stations

Aid Stations
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.
