The event offers three trail races held on a shared 16-mile loop through Withlacoochee State Forest near Brooksville, Florida. The course passes long leaf pines, scrub oak covered hills, creek bottoms, and cypress ponds. The loop layout lets runners pass the main staging area multiple times and access drop bags during the race.
Distances
- 50 Mile : three loops

Aid stations and support are placed around the loop. There are three aid stations per loop, so the 50 Mile, 50K, and 16 Mile races will encounter multiple water stops accordingly.
