Long Haul 100 : Colt Creek State Park, Lakeland FL
The event is a trail running weekend at Colt Creek State Park in Lakeland, Florida, offering two race options on park trails. The longer event uses a multi-loop format through park terrain where participants may see native wildlife such as alligators, otters, gopher tortoises, and fox squirrels.
- 100 Miler: 6 loops of 16.8 miles, 32 hour cut-off, Western States lottery qualification.
- 100 Furlongs: single abbreviated loop, approximately 12.5 miles.
The 100 mile course features three fully staffed aid stations with hot and cold food and beverages, drop bag access each loop, and a belt buckle for all finishers. Sub-30-hour finishers receive a Western States lottery ticket. The shorter course has two staffed aid stations.
Runner parking is assigned to four park areas with different access and rules; RVs are permitted only in the RV campground. The paved start/finish lot must remain open to the public and registered campers during the race, and cars are directed to designated grass parking areas during the event.
Packet pick-up is organized the day before at the pavilion near Mac Lake, with race day pickup available for those who cannot attend earlier. Pacers are permitted after the third loop, with an age exception allowing pacers for participants aged 60 and older at any time; all pacers must sign a waiver. The event accepts rollover credit instead of refunds under a sliding scale policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
