Just Survive 125

125 Miles. 48 Hours. Your Goal: Just Survive.

Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee to Hobe Sound Beach

The Just Survive 125 is a 125-mile out-and-back ultramarathon on Florida's iconic Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail.

There are no aid stations. There is no crew support.

Expect remote wilderness, limited cell service, changing conditions, and plenty of time alone with your thoughts.

Your goal is simple: Just Survive.

THE TRAIL

The Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail connects the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Okeechobee through pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, wet prairies, and palmetto scrub.

Expect water crossings, mud, sand, heat, humidity, and darkness.

Can you keep moving forward?

You'll earn the right to say you survived.
