The Florida Death Race 69 ish miler

Florida Death Race
For unlucky year 13 of the Georgia Death Race we decided to take death on a vacation to Florida. A sunny place for shady runners, we thought.
The Florida Trail is an 1108 mile point to point trail spanning 3/4ths of Florida. A 74 mile section of the trail runs along the historic and picturesque Suwannee River.
It’s one of the only sections on the entire trail with any elevation change. What this race lacks in elevation it makes up in technical wining trail. While Georgia Death Race is meant to kick you in the teeth with up and down. This is meant to lure you in with the sirens song of being runnable until your death marching.
The goal of this race is simple. To put you in an uncomfortable distance that isn’t quite 100 but feels like one IF you finish. To show off the most beautiful section of the Florida Trail. To put you on remote trail rarely seen by anyone other than thru hikers. This might be the most scenic race we have end to end.
The views of this black water river are more than stunning.

All runners in. True Run Bum Races Death Race fashion will be required to carry a 1 lb unengraved old railroad spike en entirety of the race. This is your burden. At the finish of the race IF you finish, you will throw the nail into the coffin and get an engraved spike. Releasing your burden. For those that do not finish you will be left with your burden. Burdens weigh on us and get heavier with time.
As an added bonus the top 100 people for Florida Death Race will get early registration for Georgia Death Race ahead of everyone else.

And because we have the ability to and we want you to feel cute, we have the Florida BABY Death Race which will be the last 37 miles of FDR. Both are point to point.
