Painted Horse Urban Ultra
The Painted Horse Urban Ultra is an urban, self supported adventure run in Ocala, FL held on February 27, 2027. Organized by Where's the Finish, the event uses a loop route rather than a point-to-point course and emphasizes navigation and sightseeing rather than racing.
This event is described as navigation heavy and is run as an adventure, sightseeing trip, and scavenger hunt. There is no time limit. The course may include some water drops and special treats, but the event should not be expected to be fully supported. A race book is available for participants. Race day registration is also offered and formal registration opens on October 1, 2026.
There are about 40 painted horses along the full 55k route. The shorter option follows a different, sometimes intersecting route and passes around 25 painted horses.
Distances:
- 55k route, looped, visits about 40 painted horses.
- 25k route, different but sometimes intersecting, visits about 25 painted horses.
The painted horses are public art placed around Marion County, with the largest concentration in downtown Ocala. The event highlights these artworks as part of the running route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
