Florida Death Race

Lee, United States • 7 Mar 2026

The Florida Death Race is a challenging 74-mile point-to-point trail race held in Lee and White Springs, Florida, primarily along the scenic Florida Trail. Featuring about 2,000 feet of elevation gain, the course follows a picturesque section of the Suwannee River, with technical, winding singletrack and some steep ravines. Runners carry a symbolic 1-pound railroad spike throughout the race, which they deposit in a coffin upon finishing.

The race offers seven aid stations, crew access, and a 20.5-hour cutoff. A shorter 37-mile "Baby Death Race" option is also available. The event highlights the natural beauty of Florida’s trails and benefits the Florida Trail Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
