The NoFlo Holiday Run by Run Bum Races

The NoFlo Holiday Run aka the North Florida Holiday Run is a single loop 25k and double loop 50k race along the Suwannee River. There is 0 pavement in this run and its all single track or dirt road. The views are endless.
This is a fun, safe and scenic old school style trail race. No frills.

Difficulty = 1 out of 5 for anyone who doesn't live in Florida and maybe a 2 out of 5 if you live in Florida. Some roots and minimal hills.

The 25K will consist of one loop and the 50 K will be two loops with the first being a 17 mile ish loop and the second being a 13 ish mile loop. )

Course markings:
The trail will be flagged and marked at turns.

Aid stations:
We will have 1 aid station per loop as well as a drop bag location at the start / finish of each loop.
At the start finish we will have a small water station as well and this is where you can have a drop bag if you are running the 50k.


This is a no-frills race. Meaning no awards, no swag, no photographers, etc. etc..

The course:
The course is approximately 85% single track and 15% dirt road.
We have designed this course to be fun, scenic and safe. You MIGHT get your feet wet once per loop when you cross falling creek.
cal topo says it’s 350 ft gain per loop with the same loss. Sounds about right. It’s a pretty fast course.


.

Crew access:
We have 3 spots per loop they can see you. At the start finish, mile 6 and mile 10 ish.

Where to stay:
Highly recommend staying at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, Airbnb in White Springs, one of the many RV / campgrounds in the area or Lake City has a ton of places to stay!

Weather:
Could be in the 30s and get into the 70s. But likely perfect running weather.

Food:
We will have water, maybe gatorade and some small snacks at the aid station. IF you want anything else bring it and put it in your drop bag. This is so low key its not funny.

Rules:
For this year’s events, the cut off to start the second loop is 4.5 hours. Meaning you must LEAVE the start finish for loop 2 prior to 4.5 hours in.
No cutting the course
No breaking the law (duh!)
IF you sign up for the 50k and drop mid race to the 25k this is a DNF. You can drop down or move up until 2 weeks prior to the race date. Message us.

IF you can’t show up, park, leave a drop bag or not at the start of each loop, get water every 6 miles or so, follow signs and flags and finish smiling then maybe this race is not for you. But we still love you.
If you drop out during the run you need to be able to get back to the start finish area aka no one is coming to get ya unless you got a crew.
