Florida Death Race

The Florida Death Race is a challenging trail running event held in Florida, featuring two distances: a 74-mile ultra and a 37-mile "baby" race. The point-to-point course primarily follows the Florida National Scenic Trail, with about 90% singletrack, running along the scenic Suwannee River. The 74-mile race starts at Full Circle Dairy farm in Lee, FL, and finishes at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs, FL, with approximately 2,500 feet of elevation gain. Runners must carry a 1-pound railroad spike symbolizing their burden, which they discard into a wooden coffin upon finishing. The race emphasizes remote, beautiful trail sections and offers a 21-hour cutoff for the ultra and 12 hours for the shorter race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
