Sea to Sea Expedition Race
The Sea to Sea Expedition Race is a multi-day, multi-discipline race that moves teams and solo racers across Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. The course covers over 300 miles and runs within a 72 hour time limit. Participants navigate unmarked terrain using map and compass and complete sections of trekking, mountain biking, paddling, and orienteering.
Teams may be two to four members or solo. Four-person teams use two canoes, two to three person teams use one canoe, and solo racers use a single kayak. The race allocates a finite number of boats and will sell out once all canoes and kayaks are assigned. The route passes through swamps, forests, beaches, spring fed rivers, a paddle on the Wekiva River, and singletrack at Croom. Expected discipline proportions are about 60% biking, 20% paddling, and 20% trekking. Temperatures in the last week of February can vary from the low 30s at night to highs in the 80s.
Registration opens May 20, 2026 and closes February 17, 2027. Entry fees listed for the event are $1,300 per racer for teams and $1,350 for solo racers. Mandatory gear and race rules are required, and waivers and gear may be checked at registration. Refund and deferment policies are specified for cancellations made before set deadlines.
The event provides host hotel lodging the night before, pre race and transition area meals, shuttle and team gear transport, canoes paddles and life vests, live GPS tracking, parking, race shirt and bib, photos, finisher medals, and on course support.
