Festivus 100/50 Miler Trail Run : Middleburg, FL : December 5–6, 2026
The event offers multiple trail distances held on a repeating loop course near 2A Live Oak Lane in Middleburg, Florida. Distances available at this edition include:
- 100 Miler
- 50 Miler
- 35 Miler

The course is a 7.2 mile loop with approximately 225 feet of elevation gain and loss per loop. Runners can choose to complete 14, 7, 5, 2 or 1 loops. The route passes through long leaf pines and palmettos, crosses two footbridges, and provides opportunities to see local wildlife such as deer and birds. Course markings are described as clear and illuminated. Runners who start a new loop after 5pm are required to carry a headlamp.
Cutoff times are specified for each distance. Pacer rules differ by distance: pacers are allowed for 100 mile entrants after 50 miles, runners over 60 years old may use a pacer at any time, only one pacer may accompany a runner at once, and pacers are not permitted for the 14, 35, or 50 mile events.
Support and logistics include a main aid station at the start/finish with water, electrolyte drink options, and hot food selections, a fully stocked campground aid station about 4 miles on course, and an unmanned hydration point near the 2 mile mark. This is a cupless event. Ten campground sites sit along the loop; site rental is handled separately and is limited. Finishers of the 100 mile distance within the allotted time receive a custom buckle and all finishers receive medals and awards. A portion of proceeds benefits local trail stewardship and a regional outreach foundation. No refunds or transfers are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
