Experience a truly unique and unforgettable finish line prize on the scenic single-track loops of Florida's Withlacoochee State Forest at the Long Play Trail Run on March 7, 2026. This event offers three distances—a quirky 33.3-mile "album length" ultra, a half marathon, and a 6K—all designed as one epic loop that starts at the Ridge Manor Trailhead and explores the wild beauty of the Croom Tract. The 33.3-mile route is a Florida trail running classic, winding alongside the serene Withlacoochee River and through deep, rarely-traveled forests, supported by five well-stocked aid stations and two drop bag opportunities. True to its musical name, every finisher is rewarded with an actual vinyl record, a one-of-a-kind memento that perfectly captures the event's creative and community-driven spirit.
More than just a race, the Long Play fosters a festive, picnic-like atmosphere where participants are encouraged to bring a chair, enjoy post-race food, and cheer on fellow runners as they finish throughout the day. The staggered start times allow the entire trail family to share the course and the celebration, with special awards for top performers in each distance. This is the perfect event for runners seeking a challenging yet runnable ultra or a beautiful half marathon in a uniquely Floridian landscape, all wrapped up with a dose of nostalgic fun. Lace up for a day where the trails are sweet and the finish line "record" is even sweeter.
