The Angry Tortoise is a trail running event held in the flatwoods of Cary State Forest on the outskirts of Jacksonville, with the venue listed at 7465 Pavilion Rd, Bryceville, FL. The event marks the 13th anniversary of the race in 2026 and offers two distance options.

Overall awards are given to first, second, and third place male and female finishers, plus age-category awards: masters (40-49), grandmasters (50-69), and senior grandmasters (70 and over) for both distances.

Cary State Forest offers a free hot shower in the male and female restrooms near the start and finish area. The event serves lunch to runners after the race.
