Florida Death Race

The Florida Death Race is a challenging point-to-point trail race held in Lee and White Springs, Florida, featuring two distances: a 74-mile ultra and a 37-mile "baby" race. Approximately 90% of the course follows the scenic Florida National Scenic Trail along the Suwannee River, offering about 2,500 feet of elevation gain for the ultra and 1,500 feet for the shorter race. The route is mostly singletrack with technical, winding trails through remote and beautiful landscapes. Runners carry a symbolic 1-pound railroad spike throughout the race, which they deposit in a wooden coffin at the finish. The event emphasizes endurance, natural beauty, and a unique race atmosphere.
