Long Haul Course Preview : December 5, 2026
Organized by A1 Ultra Events, this event in Lakeland, FL is a course preview and training run for the 2027 LH100. The meeting area is at Colt Creek State Park, 16000 State Road 471, Lakeland, FL.
The preview follows one loop of 16.8 miles. The course will be marked with signs at major turns and with a few confidence flags until 1 pm. Participants may continue beyond the loop, but course markers, signs, and water stops will begin to be removed at 1 pm, after which runners will need to rely on memory or CalTopo for navigation.
There will be water at the run start and at two on-course aid station locations used during the race. All on-course stops are unstaffed and provide water only. Participants should bring any required food and electrolytes and plan to keep drop bags or coolers in their vehicles while in the park.
A group campground will be reserved the night before for those who choose to camp. The campground is primitive, with no water or electricity, and is for tent camping only.
Park access requires a fee of $3 per person or $4 per vehicle to enter Colt Creek State Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
