The Forgotten Florida 100 Miler takes place in Christmas, Florida on January 30th, 2027. This event is a unique adventure through some of the most scenic trails in the state, featuring runs ranging from ultra distances to shorter but equally challenging courses. Participants will experience a trail run unlike any other as they traverse rarely traveled single-track paths within Tosohatchee and Seminole Ranch. The race begins in Oviedo on Saturday morning and concludes at Tosohatchee by Sunday evening. On race day, runners can expect firm yet slightly soft terrain underfoot, with opportunities to spot a variety of birds such as herons, cranes, eagles, and spoonbills. Forgotten Florida has been running for several years now, drawing trail enthusiasts from across the country who are eager to explore parts of Florida that remain untouched by development. The event supports local efforts to maintain these natural trails while offering participants an immersive experience in one of America's most biodiverse states. Each year sees a growing number of runners completing this challenging yet rewarding course. The race courses wind through varied landscapes, including palm groves and pine flatwoods, with only two miles of pavement on both the 100 Miler and 50 Miler routes. The Forgotten Florida offers four distinct distances: the demanding 160.9K point-to-point route for ultra runners; a 80.5K course that serves as both an independent race and half-way mark of the longer event; two shorter but equally scenic options—the 24.1K fifteen miler and the 12.9K eight miler—perfect for those who want to experience the beauty without committing to such a long distance. Runners can expect mild winter weather conditions during January, with temperatures ranging from cool mornings around freezing point to pleasant daytime highs in the mid-60s Fahrenheit. UV index is low at 2.4, making it comfortable but advisable to wear sunscreen and protective clothing for outdoor exposure throughout race hours. Wind speeds are typically light, creating an ideal environment for trail running enthusiasts.
