THE DREAM

About Wild Florida Trail Run — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

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

The 50K starts in Suwannee Springs and finishes at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs.

It is a point-to-point course with very little repeated terrain.

Almost the entire route is lined by giant oaks and views of the Suwannee River.

The event is scheduled for the period when the bald cypresses along the river change colour.

The road to your own record

Picture the course in advance
and find the pace that fits you.

When the city cheers

Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.

The trip that follows the run

Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.

“I ran the first 10 miles with a jacket on.”

The runner ran 50 km along the Suwannee River in White Springs. After a cold start, the runner passed through sandy sections and stretches covered in tree roots, suffering pain from stiff shoes and toenail problems, but finished in 6 hours and 51 minutes.
