Just Survive 125 - January 1, 2027
The Just Survive 125 is a 125 mile out and back ultramarathon on the Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail. The course runs from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee and back, with a 48 hour cutoff to complete the route.
The trail passes through pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, wet prairies, and palmetto scrub. Runners can expect water crossings, mud, sand, heat, humidity, and periods of darkness. Large portions of the course have limited or no cell service.
There are no aid stations and no crew support. The event uses bucket support: participants prepare four supply buckets with nutrition, hydration, gear, and essentials. Volunteers transport and monitor buckets at designated locations spaced at approximately 15.5 mile intervals.
The event is organized by members of the local trail running community and supported by volunteers from the Florida Trail Association Loxahatchee Chapter. Registration closes December 20. Success depends on preparation, pacing, nutrition, hydration, and on-the-trail problem solving.
Participants who return to Hobe Sound Beach within 48 hours are considered to have completed the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
