Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run : Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway
The Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run takes place in the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway with the start/finish at the Santos Trailhead in Ocala, Florida (3080 S.E. 80th St). The event date is April 25-26, 2026. The published cut-off is 36 hours.
The advertised course is a roughly 50-mile out-and-back using the Florida National Scenic Trail, paved greenway trails, and sections through the Ross Prairie Wildlife Management Area. The route description notes that 100-mile entrants complete the course twice. Trail surfaces include single-track, sand, exposed roots, short climbs, and paved sections. Course marking uses pink ribbons with reflectors for outbound and pink flags with reflectors for inbound sections.
Aid stations are placed along outbound and inbound segments and are stocked with drinks, electrolyte powder, snacks (including pickles, gummy candies, chips, fruit), gels, salt tablets, bandages, and women’s hygiene products. The start/finish and Pruitt Trailhead aid stations also offer hot foods such as soup, hot dogs, and burgers. Specific aid station segment distances are provided for outbound and inbound legs.
Drop bags are collected at the start and may be left at designated aid stations; 100-mile runners have an additional drop-bag location at Ross Prairie. Crew access is allowed at aid stations with parking required in official lots. Pacing rules: no pacers for the 50 mile; pacers may join 100 mile runners after 50 miles, with exceptions for runners over age 60 or medical need.
Awards include wooden trophies for the top four men and women, a 50-mile finisher plaque, and a 100-mile belt buckle. Packet pick-up is scheduled at Santos Trailhead on April 24 from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
