DURTY B-EE-RR-UN 6hr Fat Ass Ultra

The Dusty Bee Run (DBR) returns to Walsingham Park, Seminole, Florida, on August 20th, 2026. This year's edition of this popular Fat Ass race promises an engaging and self-supported running experience in a picturesque setting.
Located at 12615 102nd Ave, the park offers ample space for runners to set up their personal campsites under pavilions or canopies near the starting line. Main parking is available at Shelter 6, with additional overflow spaces at Shelters 3 and 4. The race day will kick off early as gates open at 7am, allowing participants plenty of time to settle in before the official start at 8am.
The course itself loops through Walsingham Park on a roughly three-mile out-and-back route, incorporating paved paths and concrete walkways that wind around scenic areas within the park. Runners will find water fountains along the way but are advised to carry handheld bottles due to Florida's notoriously hot and humid conditions in August. Temperatures typically hover around 90 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity levels reaching about 90%, making hydration a top priority.
Race organizers recommend bringing shade canopies, comfortable seating, coolers filled with ice, and all necessary nutritional supplies for the six-hour duration of the event. Self-recording is mandatory at each loop's start/finish line to ensure accurate tracking in UltraSignup results and eligibility for race awards. The final lap tally will determine winners and special prizes given out by 2pm.
While not a closed course, runners are expected to maintain awareness and courtesy towards other park users including pedestrians, cyclists, and families enjoying the outdoors on weekends. This community-oriented event fosters camaraderie among participants who share similar passions for endurance running in challenging conditions.
Registration is free of charge but cash donations collected during race day will be donated to a charity announced at the conclusion of DBR 2026. Post-race festivities and refreshments, including adult beverages for those over 21 years old, are scheduled to follow on the Facebook group page dedicated specifically to this event.
