JW Corbett Trail Races

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Florida's untamed wilderness at the JW Corbett Running Club’s annual ultra race. This exclusive membership event takes place on April 10, 2027, within the expansive JW Corbett Wildlife Management Area. By participating, you not only join a community dedicated to preserving local trails but also contribute directly to conservation efforts through your registration fees.
The route follows the Ocean to Lake Trail system, marked consistently with bright orange blazes throughout its entirety. This low-cost adventure offers runners an authentic taste of old-school ultra racing on technical single-track terrain that winds through remote and undisturbed landscapes. The trail network is a tapestry of diverse ecosystems—wet prairies dotted with cypress strands, hardwood hammocks offering glimpses into Florida’s rich flora, open meadows bathed in sunlight, and pine flatwoods providing dense cover.
Runners can expect to encounter varied terrain that challenges both body and spirit. The rugged trails are likely wet and lush, teeming with wildlife and bursting with wildflowers during springtime blooms. This race is a bucket-list experience for those who seek an intimate connection with nature while pushing their limits in one of the most scenic settings Florida has to offer.
With a generous 13-hour cutoff time, this event allows runners ample opportunity to soak up the beauty around them and navigate through diverse landscapes at their own pace. However, early registration is key; participants registering after March 25, 2024, cannot guarantee receiving race shirts in their preferred sizes due to limited availability.
Join fellow enthusiasts for a day of high adventure where every step taken supports conservation efforts and creates lasting memories amidst Florida’s untouched wilderness.
For those who value both the physical challenge and the environmental impact of their participation, this event offers an unparalleled experience.
