Azalea 12/24 Hour

Azalea 12/24 Hour takes place Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, Florida. The event uses a paved USATF measured 2 mile loop route that runs down a ravine and passes historical landmarks, native plants, and wildlife.

Distances offered include:

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

The loop has several winding curves and a few hills and is noted for towering oaks that form a tunnel-like canopy. Course setup permits tents and canopies only on race day; participants are asked to keep their areas clean. Solo runners without crews have a limited number of reserved spots while remaining space is available on a first come first serve basis.

Aid stations will provide staple foods and some hot items such as soups, sandwiches, and quesadillas; participants with special dietary needs should come prepared. Runners must mark their own hydration bottles; a communal table will be available for bottle pickup and drop off, and filling can occur near the start and finish area. Night running requires personal lighting. A professional timing provider will record results and maintain data backups. Local services including food, convenience stores, and hotels are within a five mile drive of the park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
