About the race
Festivus 100/50 Miler Trail Run is a multi-distance trail event held in Middleburg, FL at 2A Live Oak Lane and organized by Sombrero Running. The event uses a single loop course of 7.2 miles with about 225 feet of elevation gain and loss per loop. Runners may complete multiple loops; the course description states options of 14, 7, 5, 2, or 1 loops.
Distances offered include:
- 100 Miler
- 50 Miler
- 35 Miler
- 14 Miler
- 7 Miler
The course runs through long leaf pines, palmettos, passes through campsites, and includes two footbridges. Course markings will be clear and illuminated; runners starting a new loop after dusk must have a headlamp. The event is CUPLESS, so participants should carry a handheld bottle or hydration pack. Aid station coverage includes a main start/finish station with water, Skratch drink, hot foods and typical aid station snacks, a fully stocked campground aid station around the 4 mile mark, and an unmanned replenished hydration point at the 2 mile mark.
Cutoff times are set per distance: 100 and 50 mile cutoffs 38 hours, 35 mile 18 hours, and 14 mile 8 hours. Pacers are allowed for 100 milers after 50 miles with only one pacer at a time; runners over 60 may have a pacer at any time. No pacers are allowed for the 14, 35, or 50 mile distances.
Parking is in a main lot with tent and canopy setup allowed along the course; reserved areas near the start and finish are first come first served. Campsites on the loop are available only to 100 mile entrants, offered for the full weekend for a fee and reserved on a first pay basis. A portion of event proceeds benefits Friends of Florida State Forest and the Sombrero Outreach Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
