Florida Death Race

The Florida Death Race is a challenging 74-mile point-to-point trail race held in Florida, starting at Full Circle Dairy in Lee and finishing at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs. The course follows about 90% of the scenic Florida Trail, primarily along the Suwannee River, featuring technical, winding singletrack with approximately 2,000 feet of elevation gain. Runners must carry a 1-pound railroad spike throughout the race, symbolizing their burden, which they discard in a coffin upon finishing. The race has a 20.5-hour cutoff, includes several aid stations, and offers a 37-mile "Baby Death Race" option. It showcases remote, beautiful trails with river views and historic sites.
