Blackwater Heritage Trailblazer

Blackwater Heritage Trailblazer

The Blackwater Heritage Trailblazer is a running and walking event held on the paved, tree-lined Blackwater Heritage Trail in Milton, Florida. The event includes an out-and-back route for the longer race and a shorter family-oriented distance along the same maintained trail near 5533 Alabama Street.

Distances and options:

• 13K approximately 8 miles on the paved trail
• 2.7 miles fun run/walk
• Para-athlete divisions for both distances
• Shirt-only purchase option

The 13K features overall awards for top male and female finishers, age-group awards across standard categories (0-9 to 80+), top para-athletes, and top male and female walkers. The shorter 2.7 mile fun run and walk do not have age-group awards; they include fun awards and door prizes. Entry fees listed for the event include a $52 fee for the 13K, $27 for the 2.7 mile event, and a $15 option to purchase an extra shirt if available.

Packet pickup and late registration for the fun run are available on race day at the Blackwater Heritage Trail Visitor Center. The event notes that swag is available for early registrants and that organizers may reschedule or cancel in case of severe weather or emergency.
