Nestled between the serene waters of the river and the vast expanse of the ocean, the River to Sea race offers runners an unforgettable journey through lush Florida landscapes. This one-mile trail loop is adorned with palm and oak trees, creating a picturesque setting that embodies the charm of old Florida hammocks. The terrain is flat, shaded, and free from technical challenges, making it both inviting for newcomers and ideal for seasoned ultramarathoners aiming to set personal records. The race, which spans either six or twelve hours, provides participants with a fully stocked aid station manned by experienced volunteers dedicated to ensuring runners stay hydrated and fueled throughout their journey. Organized by Dawn Lisenby—a veteran of 18 years in ultra racing, coaching, and event management—the River to Sea Race promises an immersive experience that prioritizes the comfort and enjoyment of its participants. As you run through this enchanting trail loop, take time to appreciate the stunning scenery around you—breathtaking views of both river and ocean await at every turn. The race organizers have crafted a unique atmosphere where runners are not just competitors but part of a supportive community that cherishes each individual’s journey.
