8-Hours of Berm : Ross Prairie Trailhead, Dunnellon, FL
The 8-Hours of Berm takes place on August 15, 2026 at Ross Prairie Trailhead, 10660 SW State Rd 200, Dunnellon, FL 34432. It is an eight hour timed event and ruck held on a loop course of 6.5 miles with approximately +135 feet of elevation gain. Registration closes August 8 at 11:59 PM ET.
The course follows Florida fire lines known as berms through longleaf pine forests, oak hammocks, and dry prairies. The soil is light and sandy with little to no tree canopy. Runners will encounter deep sand, less deep sand, overgrown forest roads, exposed stretches, and sections of trail, creating varied footing across natural surfaces. The event is run with no DNFs and no cutoffs.
The Ross Prairie Trailhead includes a bathhouse on site. Participants may set up 10x10 tents for self-crewing and perform self-aid; the event provides a map of self-crew locations in race communications. Ross Prairie Campground offers 14 full-service sites with 30- and 50-amp electrical pedestals, potable water hookups, picnic pavilions, a dump station, and a bathhouse. Combat Racing, a veteran owned and operated small business, organizes the event after its inaugural year with Skunk Ape Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
