Just Survive 125
Just Survive 125 is a 125-mile ultramarathon held in Hobe Sound, FL, on the Ocean to Lake Hiking Trail. The course runs from Hobe Sound Beach to Lake Okeechobee and back, and participants have a 48-hour time limit to complete the route.
The event operates without aid stations and without crew support. Runners use a bucket-supported system: each participant prepares four supply buckets containing nutrition, hydration, gear, and essentials. Volunteers transport and monitor those buckets at designated locations spaced at roughly 15.5 miles apart.
The trail passes through pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, wet prairies, and palmetto scrub. Competitors should expect water crossings, mud, sand, heat, humidity, and periods of darkness. Large portions of the course have limited or no cell service, and weather in January can vary from cool mornings to warm, humid conditions with rain and wind.
A Participant Guide contains detailed race information. The event is organized by members of the local trail running community and relies on volunteers from the Florida Trail Association's Loxahatchee Chapter. Registration for the event closes on December 20.
Finishing the course and returning to Hobe Sound Beach within the 48-hour limit is the stated measure of success for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
