About the race
The Guana 50K and 12K Trail Races take place at the Guana Research Reserve in South Ponte Vedra on Sunday, December 6, 2026. The event is organized by JTC Running in association with 1st Place Sports and lists a charity partner.
Distances:
- 50K individual
- 50K Team (2x25K)
- 12K
Entry fees vary by date: through October 31, November, and day of race tiers are listed for each distance and team entry. Entry fees shown on the registration platform include server fees and therefore may appear higher. There are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers. Race day registrations must be paid by cash or check. Online registration is available and also at 1st Place Sports stores.
The 50K course is a 7.75 mile clockwise loop beginning and ending at the trail head, mostly hard pack trail with several oak tree roots to navigate and about 90 percent shaded. The 12K start is moved forward on the trail to create the shorter distance. Time limits are stated for each event.
Packet pickup is on race day only at the start and finish area. All entrants receive a running hat; finishers receive finisher shirts as noted for each distance. Parking in the reserve is $3.00 per vehicle at the southernmost entrance just north of the Exxon station. Race photos are posted online after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
