Course
Marathoners run two laps of a 13.1-mile loop on hiking and equestrian trails, all unpaved and not certified. Three aid stations sit about 5 miles apart, so runners must carry their own hydration. All distances close at 2:30 p.m.
Race-day weather
Mid-April in west central Florida is often warm and humid by late morning, and the open sandhills offer little shade.
About the race
The marathon, half and 10K share a spring morning in Withlacoochee State Forest, and the whole equestrian campground at Bear Head Hammock is reserved for race participants. Every finisher gets an award, with handcrafted ones for the top three men and women.
