Monroe Cross Trail 50 Mile Ultra
The 6th annual Monroe Cross Trail 50 Mile Ultra is scheduled for January 23, 2027 in DeBary, Florida. The 50 mile event is point to point, beginning at Rotary Park in Edgewater and finishing at Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary.
The course follows paved multi-use trails in Volusia County, including the East Regional Rail Trail to Deltona, the Spring-to-Spring Trail from Gemini Springs through Lake Monroe Park, a section on 17/92 toward Wayside Park in Sanford, and the Riverside Walk Trail along the shoreline of Lake Monroe to a turnaround near mile 44, then returning to Central 28.
Race logistics state there are five aid stations spaced about every 8 to 12 miles; participants must carry their own hydration for those distances. Runners may have their own crew follow them along the course. This is a point to point event and all participants must arrange their own transportation to the start and pickup at the finish; the event does not provide transportation except for medical emergencies. Lights and reflective vests are required for anyone running after dark; failure to have them may result in disqualification.
Finisher awards are given as follows: medals for 50 mile and 50K finishers, a finisher award for 17K finishers, and prizes for the top 10 male and female finishers in each event. Registration closes January 20 at 11:59PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
