Middleburg, United States • 9 Aug 2025

The event embraces Florida’s heat and humidity, providing a tough heat-training experience.

While self-supported, aid stations with cold water, electrolytes, and pickle juice are available midway. Limited to 35-40 participants due to parking and trail constraints, the event encourages carpooling and donations to support trail maintenance. Awards include entries to future trail races.
