The Punch Out Ultra, held on February 21, 2026, in Molino, FL, offers an exhilarating 8-hour timed trail race across a unique private high-fence deer ranch. Runners will tackle a 4.2-mile out-and-back loop, navigating a diverse course featuring ATV-style trails, pine-needle covered paths, sandy dirt roads, and grassy sections. The terrain boasts gentle elevation and stunning natural beauty, with opportunities to spot mature whitetail deer along the way. The race begins and ends beside a picturesque, mirror-still pond, creating a serene backdrop for this challenging event.
This "Suffer UP" event, known for its uplifting atmosphere, encourages both individual determination and team camaraderie, though individuals are welcome to push their limits for the entire 8 hours. Each completed lap is tracked with a unique hole punch on your bib upon crossing the start/finish line. A full aid station at the start/finish area provides snacks, electrolyte mixes, and a light lunch to keep runners fueled, while a water-only station awaits at the turnaround point. Participants should note this is a cupless event and are asked to bring their own bottles or cups. Typical race day conditions in late February present comfortable highs around 68°F and lows near 49°F, with a 13% chance of precipitation.
Runners who achieve a 50K distance within the 8-hour limit will be awarded a special "Suffer Up" challenge coin. Beyond the running, the start/finish area provides a vibrant hub with space for crew tents, restrooms, and even an alligator pen for spectators. The Punch Out Ultra promises a memorable adventure through raw, rugged Florida, leaving participants with a lasting sense of accomplishment.
