The Trident Trail Races at Jupiter Ridge Natural Area
The Trident Trail Races take place July 24-25, 2027 in Jupiter, Florida. The event is organized by Sand Spur Ultra and is held on the ancient sugar sand dunes of Jupiter Ridge Natural Area, a protected 271 acre coastal scrub site that supports over 200 plant and animal species. The dune section used for the races includes the highest natural point in Palm Beach County at about 44 to 45 feet above sea level.
The event offers seven distinct race formats that use repeated 3.3 mile Trident loops on soft sand and rolling terrain. Many races include strict cutoffs and loop rules. Aid stations will provide ice, water, chilled fruit, and fuel. Medical staff will be on site, and crews are allowed for some races. Parking will be off site with escorted transport to the race area.
Late July conditions in southeast Florida bring high heat and humidity, and the organizers recommend heat management and preparation. The courses combine frequent short climbs on soft sand with repeated out and back visibility of other competitors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
