Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of North Florida at the Wild Florida Trail Run on November 7, 2026, in White Springs, FL. Offering challenging distances of 50K, 25K, and 10K, this race is renowned for its breathtaking scenery along the historic Suwannee River. Runners will traverse trails almost entirely canopied by magnificent oaks, with stunning views of the river and the vibrant fall colors of cypress trees, magnolias, and diverse pine flatwoods. While Florida may be known for its flat terrain, this course is deceptively challenging, featuring undulating hills and technical singletrack that will test your grit and focus.

Organized by Run Bum Tours, a name synonymous with some of the South's most scenic trail races, the Wild Florida Trail Run is celebrated for its meticulously marked routes and well-provisioned aid stations. The 50K and 25K courses offer a unique point-to-point experience, beginning in Suwannee Springs (50K) or another scenic starting point (25K), and culminating at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park. The 10K provides a spirited single loop within the park, making it an excellent introduction to trail running. Typical race day conditions in early November promise ideal running weather, with highs around 73F and lows around 47F, and only a 6% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the personal challenge, participating in the Wild Florida Trail Run contributes to a vital cause, as a significant portion of the proceeds are donated directly to the Florida Trail Association, supporting the development and maintenance of Florida's incredible trail network. Prepare for a truly immersive experience in a majestic natural setting, where every stride along the Suwannee River celebrates both your endurance and the beauty of wild Florida. Remember to bring your own hydration vessel, as this is a cup-less event.
