Gate2Gate Trail Run

Gate2Gate Trail Run

The Gate2Gate Trail Run takes place in the San Felasco Hammock Preserve just outside Alachua, Florida. The event offers trail races over 25K and 50K distances on a looped course that uses both northern and southern park trail systems.

• 25K
• 50K

The course begins in the northern park area and moves through single-track mountain bike trails, open fields, rolling hills, and double-track hiking and birding trails in the southern section. Runners follow a yellow-trail loop through the western park area and use a connector trail back to the north end. 25K runners complete the circuit once; 50K runners complete it twice. The course is open for eight hours.

Aid stations are located at multiple miles on each loop and provide water, electrolyte drink (Powerade), PB&J sandwiches, and a selection of sweet and salty foods. Aid stations will not supply cups, gels, S-Caps, or medications such as ibuprofen; participants must carry their own bottles or hydration systems and bring any specialized nutrition or medication they require. The event requests that single-serving gel packs not be used on the trail to reduce litter.

The event is a benefit race with net profits donated to the Friends of San Felasco community support organization. Every finisher receives a custom medal and a custom glass, and 50K finishers also receive a custom trucker hat. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
