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, uneven sections and muddy conditions typical of Florida trails. The scenic route combines speed-friendly stretches with tricky terrain, providing a balanced trail running experience. The event weekend also includes Spartan Obstacle Course Races, adding to the outdoor adventure atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
