The Itch is a no-frills, point-to-point 50K trail race through the heart of Florida’s wilderness. Runners will follow the Florida National Scenic Trail’s west corridor, starting on Lake Kerr Rd / CR-316 and following the Western Connector, finishing at the Baseline Road Trailhead in Ocala. This is a rugged trail challenge. However, there will be aid provided on the course. There will also be one drop bag zone for runners who do not have crew support. Please plan accordingly and bring the gear and fuel you need to manage a true wilderness effort. As with most point-to-point events, transportation is the responsibility of each runner. Please coordinate your own drop-off and/or pick-up arrangements. However, if there is enough interest, we will look into getting a van to shuttle uncrewed runners before the race, from the finish line to the start of the race.
Every runner is required to download the course GPX to their phone and/or watch and must carry a phone with them during the race.
If you’re itching for a challenge…The Itch is for you!
