The 2019 EVERGLADES ULTRAS:

What: Three distinct trail races of 50 miles and 50 kilometers (31 miles) and 25 kilometers (15.6 miles). The races are fully aid-station supported. Note: The Fakahatchee is a wilderness area and nature preserve. Many miles of trails are cleared in advance of race day. Overgrown portions of some trails are literally re-opened by hand just a few days before the race. Routes are subject to change from year-to-year due to weather-related park conditions.

Where: The entrance to Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is located in Copeland, FL on State Route 29, fifteen miles south of Exit 80 on Interstate 75 (“Alligator Alley”), and 2.5 miles north of US 41 (“Tamiami Trail”). Everglades City is five miles south of the park entrance on Route 29. The Fakahatchee is approximately 1 1/2 hour’s drive from downtown Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

When: Saturday, March 9, 2019. The 50 mile race start is at 6:00am; cut-off is 8:30pm. The 50 kilometer race begins at 7:30am, with cut-off at 7:30pm. The 25 kilometer race begins at 9:00am with a 7:00pm finish cut-off time. A required orientation will be presented before each race at the starting line, with optional packet pick-up, orientation and park history with the Fakahatchee Manager on Friday at 5:00pm.

Support/Food: Fully stocked and staffed aid stations throughout the course. Park rangers on UTVs supporting the race throughout the venue. Burgers and beverages and more under the big tent at the race finish! Runner drop bags allowed at strategic locations.
