Turkey Burn Ultra

Turkey Burn Ultra is a trail running event at Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, FL on November 28, 2026. The event offers the following distances:

  • 50K

The course uses a 17.1-mile loop that mixes wooded hard-packed singletrack, open grass, sandy hills and shell rock gravel roads. Route markings are provided. Trail composition is approximately 75% singletrack and 25% gravel or paved surfaces. The 50K course includes about 700 feet of elevation gain. Organizers set a 9-hour time cutoff.

The start area is in open fields behind the campground, and camping is possible the night before and after the race. The event runs over Thanksgiving weekend and typically sees comfortable temperatures in the 70s.

Support and race services include four fully stocked aid stations, professional timing, and race media teams that produce photos and videos for participants after the race. Finishers receive medals and race apparel, and awards are given by overall, masters, and age-group categories; racers must be present to receive awards.

Entry details note that each runner must print and sign a waiver and bring it to check-in. Registration opens March 16, 2026; early registration ends September 4, 2026; registration closes November 26, 2026. Early and late fees are published for each distance.
