Azalea 12/24 Hour: Palatka FL

Azalea 12/24 Hour is an ultrarunning event held at Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, Florida, on November 7, 2026. The event uses a USATF measured, paved 2 mile loop that runs down a ravine lined with towering oaks, historic landmarks, native Florida plants, and local wildlife. The loop includes several winding curves and a few hills.

Available race formats:

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

Cutoff times are specified for longer races, including a 15 hour cutoff for the 50 mile and a 10 hour cutoff for the 50K. Aid stations will supply staple foods and hot options such as soups, sandwiches, and quesadillas; special dietary needs should be planned for by the runner. A hydration table will be provided for marked bottles to be dropped off and picked up near the course turn. Tents and canopies may be set up on race day only; participants are asked to keep their areas clean. Solo runners without crews will have a limited number of reserved spaces, with remaining spaces assigned on a first come first served basis.
