Just Survive 125

Just Survive 125 is an out and back trail event from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee following the Lake to Ocean trail in Hobe Sound, FL. The route uses mostly single track remote rugged trails and passes through changing ecosystems, including ancient sand dunes with scrub oak and sand pine, pine flat woods, palmetto and palm tree hammocks, cypress swamp, and wet prairies. Wildlife that may be encountered includes deer, alligators, otters, owls, snakes, bobcats, coyotes, and various Florida wading birds.

Runners are expected to be self sufficient. The race provides four 5 gallon drop buckets placed about 15.5 miles apart; runners pack their own food, drink, and essentials into those buckets. The crew will deliver and monitor the buckets. If a runner arrives by air from another state, the organizers will provide the buckets for them. No crews, no pacers, and no aid stations are allowed. GPS watches may not be used to keep runners on course but may be used for mileage. Phones must be carried at all times.

The event has a 48 hour cutoff. The field is limited to 30 runners. Finishers who follow the rules and complete the course within the cutoff receive a buckle and a long sleeve technical finishers shirt. Registration closes Sun, Dec 20 at 11:59 PM ET.
