Two Prairies Ultra : March 13, 2027
Two Prairies Ultra is a free, limited-entry trail event organized by Combat Racing Events at Pat's Island Trailhead in the Ocala National Forest, just outside Salt Springs, Florida. Participation is capped at 50 runners because parking is limited and the course runs through a wilderness area. Registration opens December 1, 2026. The event uses sections of the Florida Trail and passes through the Juniper and Hopkins Prairies in the Juniper Wilderness.
Race format and distances
