Cauldron Marathon & Half Marathon
The Cauldron Marathon & Half Marathon is a trail running event in Ocala, Florida, held on October 24, 2026, alongside the 14th Annual Cauldron Adventure Race. The course follows forest trails that include moss-draped trees and twisting paths, and parts of the event take place as dusk settles and night falls. A costume contest and a post-race party are planned at the finish.

The organizer provides a fully marked course, free parking, a dry-fit t-shirt, finisher medals, free race photos, timing, aid station supplies, awards, and a fresh meal for all racers. Aid may be received only within 100 feet of an aid station that allows crew access. Trekking poles are allowed. Pacers are not permitted; support crews may provide assistance at the finish area.
Race rules require runners to follow staff and medical instructions, not cut the course, and punch all flags to receive credit for the entire course. Racers must bring a printed and signed waiver to check-in. No refunds are offered; entries may be transferred to another racer in the same event without penalty until seven days before the event. Awards include top-three placements in each class; racers must be present to receive awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
