This is a well-marked 5k loop trail, with the course taking you up to the top of the famed Landbridge of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway via the Blue and Orange blazed trails. Run as quickly as you can or slow down at the Landbridge for a quick photo. All finishers will receive a custom race medal at the finish line.
After you cross the finish, our sponsor Where’s the Finish Podcast will be hosting a post‑race breakfast and social. Stick around for trail talk, laughs, and plenty of WTF shenanigans.

Support The Florida Trail:
The Florida Trail (FT) is a 1,500-mile trail that extends from the Big Cypress National Preserve at the edge of the Everglades in south Florida to Gulf Islands National Seashore on Santa Rosa Island in the Florida panhandle. The trail is used by thru-hikers, day hikers, trail runners, and for events like the one you're signing up for now!
The FT provides opportunities for recreation in some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes in Florida, and it's made possible by the work of the Florida Trail Association (FTA) and thousands of volunteer hours. FTA relies on donations from trail users like you to sustain their volunteer work. As a participant in this event that uses the Florida Trail, we encourage you to make a donation to support these efforts and ensure the trail is protected and maintained for years to come (minimum suggested donation per participant of $25) .
