The 8-Hours of Berm is an 8-hour timed trail running event held at Ross Prairie Trailhead in Dunnellon, Florida.

The terrain is challenging with varied sand depths and exposed stretches, providing both mental and physical tests.

The event emphasizes a supportive, inclusive atmosphere with no cutoffs or DNFs, encouraging runners to push their limits independently without crews or pacers. Amenities include a main aid station with diverse snacks, on-site bathhouse, and camping options. Awards include trophies and a fun finisher’s jar of sand.
