Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run
The Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run is a trail running event organized by Skunk Ape Events in Ocala, Florida, held on April 24-25, 2027. The event offers two distances:
- 100 Mile two laps of the full course.
- 50 Mile single lap of the course.
The course is based in the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway and uses the Florida National Scenic Trail, paved Greenway trails, and sections through Ross Prairie Wildlife Management Area. Trail surfaces include single track, sand, roots, short climbs, and paved sections. Elevation gain for one lap is 1,562 feet; the 100 mile entrants complete this twice.
Cutoff for both distances is 36 hours. Specific checkpoint cutoffs and mile markers are provided for 100 mile runners, including a required time to complete the first lap and additional intermediate cutoffs.
Aid stations, staffed or unstaffed, supply a variety of food items, electrolyte powder, bandages, and hygiene products; hot food or coffee is expected at aid stations. Drop bags are collected at the start and returned to the start/finish after aid stations close. Crew access is available to all aid stations and specific crew guidelines appear in the race Guidebook.
Pre-race packet pick-up includes a Central Florida Trail Fest with local running groups and organizations. Awards include finish items for 50 and 100 mile finishers and wooden overall trophies. The event follows ATRA, ITRA, and IAU standards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
