brings trail running to the magnificent Citrus Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest near Inverness, Florida for our fourth year! This area of the forest offers challenging (hills!!!), less-used trails that will take you through beautiful sandhill scrub, oak thickets, longleaf pine, rocky hammocks and grassy meadows. This is the first race produced by Endeavor Racing and we're excited to continue building the annual tradition and to introduce our new Dare Greatly Team Challenge for this year's Citrus Trail Runs.
This annual event is limited to 250 participants, so sign up early to ensure your spot!

NEW! DARE GREATLY TEAM CHALLENGE - Four Runners. Four Distances. One Team.
Here is your opportunity to challenge yourself and your friends and compete at the Citrus Trail Runs in a new way! Register as a team of four with a different person running each of the distances (one person runs the 4-miler, one person the 10-miler, one person the marathon and one person the 50K). We'll have categories for co-ed, all-male and all-female teams of four. We'll have awards three-deep in each category based on the cumulative time of the team members in each distance. In addition, Dare Greatly Team Challenge participants will also receive:
A unique Dare Greatly Team Challenge race shirt
A unique Dare Greatly Team Challenge finisher's award
Dare Greatly Team Challenge particpants will still be eligible for individual awards (overall and age group) and receive an additional finisher's award for their distance. So, gather your friends, create a cool team name, register today and start training!
NOTE: pre-registration is required for the Dare Greatly Team Challenge. There will be no race day registrations.
Trail Run Times:
Do not expect your road running times to translate to trail running.
For example, your time for the Trail 10-Miler might be equivalent to your fast half marathon time.
Because of uneven terrain, softer surfaces, tight, twisty single track trails and hills, expect your times to be slower.
Plan your hydration and nutrition needs based on being on the course longer than you would be if it were a road race.
