The run starts at the Pat's Island Trailhead in the Ocala Nation Forest (just outside Salt Springs) and will take you across some of the most scenic and oldest sections of the Florida Trail. During the run you will get to see the beautiful Juniper and Hopkins Prairies located in the Juniper Wilderness area. This area is host to abundant wildlife, rare plants, and amazing history.
The course is two out and back runs, first we will run south 8.8 miles to Juniper Springs Recreation area (17.6 miles roundtrip) come back to the start point and then north 7.25 miles (14.5 miles roundtrip).
NOTE: The 30k route runs only the south half of the course.
Directions to the Trailhead:
From the intersection of SR40 and SR19, Drive North 5.9 Miles on SR19, Turn Left on to Forest Road 46. Continue 2.2 Miles on the dirt road to Trailhead on the right.
The parking lot only holds 6 vehicles, so you may park on the right side of the road, making sure not block traffic.
