The Wild Boar Night Run is a trail event in the Green Swamp West Tract near Dade City, FL, held on September 12, 2026. Distances offered include an out and back Half-Marathon and a Half-Marathon Ruck.

The course follows old forest roads and pasture lanes before joining the Florida Trail and running out to the McNeil Entrance. Elevation change is listed as +127 / -127 feet. Course marking uses pink flagging with reflective tape; areas not to cross are marked with small pink flags. A CalTopo map and a turnaround aid station are provided at the McNeil Trailhead, approximately 6.6 miles from the start.

Aid stations will carry soda, pickle juice, snacks such as chips, cookies and gummy candies, electrolyte powder, band-aids, and feminine hygiene products. Drop bags are allowed at the turnaround; they must be labeled and are returned to the start after the aid station packs up. Camping is free at Green Swamp campgrounds with a required reservation displayed at the campground.

Finisher items include a choice of pint glass, whiskey glass, mug, or cup and event stickers. Overall awards are given to the top four men and women. The Half-Marathon Ruck requires a ruck sack only with a 20 lb weight standard if a competitor weighs under 150 lbs and 30 lb if over 150 lbs. The event is Trail Sisters approved and follows ATRA standards and Leave No Trace principles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
