This be a 50ish Mile somewhat sorta out-and-back on the Florida National Scenic Trail and the paved trails in the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. You'll get the tour of the Greenway! You'll also be running through the beautiful Ross Prairie Wildlife Management Area. FUN FACT! The highest most southern switch back in the United States is located between Ross Prairie and the Pruitt Trailhead! You’ll have an Outbound Route then an In-bound Route. Outbound is all Florida Trail and the Ross Prairie, in-bound is on the Florida Trail (bypassing Ross Prairie) onto the paved path, and then back onto the Florida Trail. 100 Milers will do the course twice!
