Florida Roots Trail Race at Fort Clinch
The Florida Roots Trail Race at Fort Clinch is a trail running event held at Fort Clinch State Park on Amelia Island, Florida, on January 23, 2027. The event offers three distances that all follow the same 10K loop beginning and ending at the Fort Clinch visitor center.
Distances
- 10K - 1 loop, 6.2 miles
- 30K - 3 loops, 18.6 miles
- 50K - 5 loops, 31 miles
The course is primarily mixed-use singletrack through maritime hammock with sections of sand and well packed dirt. The terrain includes many short, sometimes steep climbs and abundant exposed roots. The loop passes the historic fort walls and sections along the coastal shore.
Event logistics include chip timing by MCM, a race shirt, finisher awards, and post-race food and drinks. Aid on the course consists of two stations on the 10K loop, with a second station at approximately 2.5 miles, water and electrolyte drink, food, and bathrooms at both stations. The start and finish area supports drop bags.
Awards include finishers' awards and Florida State Park passes for top male and female finishers and top masters in each distance. Group tent camping is available at Fort Clinch for Friday and Saturday nights; restrooms, showers, and potable water are provided. No pacers are allowed on course. One hundred percent of event profits are donated to Florida State Parks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
