Gator Dash Trail Run

Southwest Jacksonville, United States • 1 Mar 2026

The Gator Dash Trail Run takes place at Diamond D Ranch near Jacksonville, Florida, as part of the Spartan Trail series. The event offers two race distances: a 10K and a half marathon (21K). The course features minimal elevation gain with mostly non-technical terrain, making it ideal for a first speed test after winter.

However, runners should be prepared for some challenging, muddy sections typical of Florida trails.
