Prepare to embark on an unparalleled ultra-running adventure at the Space Pirate 100, set for February 21, 2026, along Florida's breathtaking Space Coast and Treasure Coast. This unique event challenges runners across distances of 100 miles, a 100-mile 3-person relay, 50 miles, and 33.3 miles. It's an opportunity to "blast off" on an epic course that merges the thrill of space exploration with the allure of pirate lore, promising an unforgettable journey through historic sites, incredible views, and charming beach towns as you traverse Florida's storied coastline.

The Space Pirate 100 offers a distinctive point-to-point experience, with the 100-mile race starting at Manatee Sanctuary Park in Cape Canaveral and the shorter distances beginning at Pepper Beach Park in Fort Pierce. All routes converge for a spectacular finish on the sand at Jensen Beach Park. Runners can expect a predominantly flat and paved course, allowing for focused pacing while soaking in the coastal scenery. A crucial aspect of this challenge is its "support-crew only" format for the 100-mile, 100-mile relay, and 50-mile events, as there are no aid stations on course, emphasizing self-reliance and strategic planning. The 33.3 Miler, however, does not require a crew.

What truly sets the Space Pirate 100 apart is its immersive theme. Participants are limited to 100 runners, ensuring an intimate and competitive field. Finishers are rewarded not just with custom space and pirate-themed awards, but the ultimate prize awaits at the finish line: opening a "Space Pirate Treasure Chest" to claim their hard-earned Finisher's Buckle. With a generous 31-hour cutoff for the 100-mile distance, this race is designed for those seeking a challenging yet rewarding ultra that combines stunning Florida landscapes with a compelling narrative.
