The Tumbleweed Run & Gravel Ride!

Lace up your shoes or hop on your bike for The Tumbleweed Run & Gravel Ride, a truly unique event happening on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Eustis, FL. This inspiring race is hosted at Camp Boggy Creek, a picturesque 232-acre property just north of Orlando, offering participants a memorable experience while supporting a vital cause. Runners can enjoy a scenic 3.1-mile (5K) fun run or walk through the camp's beautiful trails, while cyclists can choose between a challenging 10-mile or 23-mile gravel ride through the iconic Seminole State Forest, promising stunning views and an engaging course.

What sets The Tumbleweed Run & Gravel Ride apart is its heartfelt mission: every step and pedal helps send children with serious illnesses to Camp Boggy Creek, completely free of charge. This "Challenge By Choice" event invites all fitness levels and ages to participate, and typical race day conditions in early February boast comfortable highs around 69°F and lows near 48°F, with only an 11% chance of rain, making for ideal outdoor activity weather. A water station is available on the 5K course and at the finish, with medical professionals on site for assistance.

The excitement continues well past the finish line at a vibrant post-race festival. Participants will be celebrated with finisher medals, and can refuel with refreshments and a hearty chicken and waffles brunch provided by Outback Steakhouse. Enjoy live music, family-friendly activities like mini golf and yard games, and even craft beer samples from Eden Abbey Brewing. Showers are available with towels provided, and opportunities to tour Camp Boggy Creek and meet the campers offer a direct connection to the impact of your participation. The Tumbleweed Run & Gravel Ride is more than just a race; it's a day of community, kindness, and making a profound difference in the lives of children.
