Azalea 12/24 Hour at Ravine Gardens State Park

Azalea 12/24 Hour is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, Florida (1600 Twigg St). The event offers timed running options over multiple formats and takes place on a measured loop course within the park.

Distances

• 50 Miler
• 50K
• 24 hours
• 12 hours

The course is a paved USATF measured 2 mile loop that follows the ravine and passes historical landmarks. Runners will encounter winding curves and a few hills, and the route passes beneath a canopy of towering oaks among native plants and local wildlife.

Race setup allows tents and canopies on race day only; participants are expected to keep their areas clean. Solo non crewed runners have a limited number of reserved spots; remaining spaces are allocated on a first come first serve basis.

Aid stations will provide staple foods in quantity and some hot items such as soups, sandwiches, and quesadillas that can be prepared for the runner on the next lap. Each runner must mark their own bottle; a table will be provided for bottle drop off and pickup and bottles can be refilled near the start and finish area.

Night running requires personal lighting including headlamps or handheld lights. Timing is provided by a professional service with redundant data backups. Local services including food, convenience stores, and hotels are available within a five mile drive; Palatka is the largest nearby city.

Registration closes Wed, Nov 4 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
