Gemini Springs 2-Day Challenge
The Gemini Springs 2-Day Challenge takes place January 23–24, 2027, on the Spring-to-Spring Trail / Pat Northey Pathway in DeBary, FL. The course is an accessible, measured out-and-back route that starts and finishes at the O.K. Corral pavilion in Gemini Springs Park. Repeats return runners to the O.K. Corral for aid between loops. Vegetation along the trail includes palm hammock, live oak, and cypress.
Available distances:
- 50K
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The event is cupless; participants must carry their own fluids using a handheld bottle, vest, or waist pack. MileBuilt provides water, an electrolyte drink, and basic snacks at the O.K. Corral but recommends not relying on the aid station for complete nutrition on longer efforts or multi-day participation.
Parking for the O.K. Corral is reached via the main entrance to Gemini Springs Park from Dirksen Drive; follow the park road into the West Parking Lot adjacent to the dog park and pavilion. Primitive tent camping is available inside Gemini Springs Park at a limited number of sites; no RVs. Camping must be reserved directly through Volusia County and is not handled through race registration.
Bib pickup is available on race day beginning one hour before a participant’s scheduled start time on the honor system; no ID is required and no bib transfers are allowed. Finish procedure requires crossing the line, striking the gong, and completing the Clock Out at the MileBuilt Time Clock for an official finish record. Every finisher receives a Daily Finisher Medallion; completing both days as a Streak earns a Tier Patch. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
