Gator Dash Trail Run

Gator Dash Trail Run is held at Diamond D Ranch just outside Jacksonville, Florida. The event is part of the Spartan Trail circuit and takes place during a Spartan race weekend that also features Spartan Obstacle Course Races.

The course has minimal elevation gain and many non-technical sections, which can allow faster running early in the season. The route also includes occasional tricky, ankle-biting terrain and stretches of muddy running typical of Florida trails.

Race distances include:

Trail 10K
Trail Half Marathon
Spectator access

Ticketing information on the event page lists base prices starting at $64 for the 10K and $99 for the half marathon. Team entries can be purchased together to receive savings. A service member discount of up to 25% is available for eligible US military, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, and US government employees via GOVX.
