Description:

NEW FOR 2024… The Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K event is now a DAY race on SUNDAY.  We are also adding a “Firefly Run” on Saturday night for those who plan to camp.

Since the trails in the Withlacoochee River Park are so beautiful, we want to give runners a chance to SEE them! Therefore, the race will be in the morning! The course is still on the hiking trails and is a combination of single and double track. The half marathon and 10K course takes runners by the Withlacoochee River and into a small section of the Green Swamp, while the 5K course stays within the park boundaries.

PACKET PICK UP:

Sunday, April 21st, in the recreation field.

Registration begins 1 hour before the race starts.

START TIMES:
Half Marathon – 8:00am
10K – 8:30am
5K – 9:00am

The course will stay open until 12:00pm.

Aid Stations: Will be roughly 3 miles apart and will have water, Roctane, soda, salty foods, and various snacks.

Every runner who completes either distance will receive a finishers award

CAMPING:

Group Tent Camping is available on Saturday night for those participants who want to come over the night before the race. Spaces are first-come, first-serve and they’re FREE! The campsite is primitive camping, but there are restrooms a short walk from the campground. Please note: pets are not allowed in the group camping area. You may set up your tent anytime between 4pm-8pm on Saturday.

If you plan to camp, you should park in the Group Camping parking lot. It is approximately .9 miles South of the park entrance on Auton Rd.

RV Camping is also available in the open recreational field. These spots are only available for “day of” registration. Sites have water and 30 amp hook-up. You may reserve your spot at the park office. $25 per site – checks or cash only.

There will be a Firefly Run at 8:30pm starting from the group campground. This will be a “fun run” so the pace will be casual. All campers are invited (and encouraged) to join us!
