🎵 The Long Play – Florida’s Best Single Loop Trail Race! 🌿 Get ready for 33⅓ miles of single‑track bliss through the wild and beautiful Croom Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest! The Long Play is named for classic LP records that spin at 33⅓ RPM - and this race delivers that same timeless vibe: smooth, steady, and unforgettable. Not up for the full LP? No worries! There are half-marathon and 6K distances. Every distance starts and finishes at the Ridge Manor Trailhead and winds along the Withlacoochee River before diving deep into rarely‑traveled forest paths.
