Monroe Cross Trail 50 Mile Ultra

- 50 Mile Ultra
- 50K

The 50 Mile course is point to point, starting at Rotary Park in Edgewater and finishing at Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary. The route follows several named trails including the East Regional Rail Trail, the Spring-to-Spring Trail (via Gemini Springs and Lake Monroe Park), and the Riverside Walk Trail, with shoreline running near Lake Monroe and an approximate turnaround just after mile 44. The 50K and 17K start and finish at Central 28 Beer Company; the 50K is listed as a point to point course for 2027.
There are five aid stations on the 50 Mile course, spaced about every 8 to 12 miles. Participants must carry their own hydration bottles or packs and be prepared to be self supported for those distances. Runners may have a personal crew follow them along the course. Lights and reflective vests are required for anyone running after dark; failure to comply may result in disqualification.
All participants must provide their own transportation to the start and pickup at the finish; the event does not provide transportation except for medical emergencies. Finishers in the 50 Mile and 50K receive a finisher medal; 17K finishers receive a finisher award. Top 10 male and female finishers in each event receive prizes. Food, drinks, and beer will be available at the Central 28 finish area and nearby hotels are listed for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
