A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Held on trails in Inverness, Florida.

“I enjoyed the course, the people, and had a wonderful day.”

At Sweat, Swat & Swear 25 km, the runner matched pace with others and enjoyed the forest trails. Completing the longer-than-advertised 16.8-mile course in 3 hours 12 minutes 46 seconds built confidence for the next ultra.

“I truly dropped my expectations, and appreciated every single minute of the day.”

At Sweat, Swat & Swear 50 km, calf pain and rocky stretches forced some walking, but the runner kept advancing. Despite oppressive heat, a finish in 7 hours 55 minutes left them happier with the day's adventure than with the time.

READY TO RUN

Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

This race starts and finishes at Holder Mine Campground in Inverness, Florida.

The 50K starts at 6:30 a.m., the 25K at 7:30 a.m., and the 10 mile at 8:00 a.m., in that order,

and the cutoff time limit for all events is confirmed to be 4:30 p.m. Course links the A,

B, and C loops of the Withlacoochee State Forest Citrus Tract into a single loop,

so you need to follow trail markers of different colors (orange, pink) depending on bib.

Aid stations for the 50K are set up at the 6.9-mile, 14.2-mile, and 22.5-mile marks,

plus a re-pass point at 27.6 miles, with additional water-only stops added at 11.2 and 18.6 miles.

The 25K has aid stations at 5.1 and 12.4 miles (with a water stop at 9.4 miles in between), and the 10 mile has one at 5.4 miles.

Aid stations reportedly offer water, GU Roctane, soda, pickle juice, potato chips, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruit, and ice.

Given Florida's heat in May, organizers require personal hydration gear such as handhelds, waist packs, or vests.

Drop bags can only be left at Aid Station 2.

Finishers receive a custom finisher item, and a picnic-style after-party follows the race.

Times are local to Inverness. Check the latest official information before the race.
