Funest 50k @ Carter Rd - Mulberry, FL
This event on April 17, 2027 offers trail races of three distances organized by Ultra Ultras Events at Loyce E. Harpe Park, 300 W Carter Rd, Mulberry, FL.
Distances:
- 50k
- 30k
- 10k
The course uses mountain bike trails that run through an old abandoned phosphate mine area. Trails are sand and dirt, with rolling hills and many twists and turns. The format is a 10k loop repeated three times for the 30k and five times for the 50k. The route is marked with over 600 markers. Organizers describe sections that can slow even fast runners to under a 10 minute per mile pace and note the course is notably difficult for the region.
Field size is limited to 125 runners across the distances. There is a 10 hour cutoff for the 50k field, which corresponds to a roughly 19:20 minute per mile pace. Aid includes electrolytes, soda and water at the start area and an additional aid station near the 3.5 mile point. Finishers receive socks, a finisher sticker and an award; overall awards go to the top three men and women and first masters man and woman.
A portion of registration fees supports Polk County Parks and Recreation. Bib pickup is located at the park shelter near the park entrance. Food will be available at the start and finish area, including quesadillas, hot dogs, hamburgers, bacon, and later chicken and pulled pork or brisket for longer distance participants.
