Death at DuPuis (A Backyard Event)
Death at DuPuis is a last person standing running event on February 6, 2027 in Canal Point, FL, organized by Mule Racing as part of an Athletic Soul Foundation event. Runners repeatedly complete a fixed loop of 4.166667 miles on trails in the DuPuis Management Area. Each loop must be finished within the hour; the race continues with repeated loops until only one runner completes a loop on time or all runners stop. Participants receive warning whistles at three, two and one minute before each hourly cutoff.
The event is presented as a local version of a Backyard-style race and supports trail maintenance. FTA membership pamphlets will be available and donations will be collected for the Loxahatchee chapter of the Florida Trail Association. Race fees are shown as an offer price in USD, and there is a no refund policy for runners who drop; entry fees for dropouts go to the donation pot for the Lox-FTA. Race costs include shirts, portable toilets, awards, timing and a stated minimum donation goal to the Loxahatchee Chapter. The event offers a Bronze Ticket pathway to Capital in Virginia and the winner receives a stipend of one thousand dollars.
The course runs through the DuPuis Management Area, a multiuse natural area of 21,875 acres with ponds, wet prairies, cypress domes, pine flatwoods and remnant Everglades marsh. The area includes a nature center, trails and campsites and provides miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
