Description:
Challenge yourself to a 35 or 50-mile endurance ride through Croom’s mountain bike trails. There are bailout options along the way if you want to customize your ride. This is not a race, but if you're inclined, you can push your limits to see how quickly you can reach the Celebration Station at the finish line.
​
SAG (Support and Gear) stops will be available along the route for rehydrating and snacks.
After your ride, return to the campgrounds to enjoy live music, food truck options (food tickets required), and beverages. Take the opportunity to catch up with friends. If you're still feeling energetic, explore the Vendor Village, participate in games, or treat yourself to a massage or relaxation tips. Alternatively, bring a chair and simply unwind in the company of fellow riders.

BE THE LAST RUNNER STANDING
​The "Last One Standing" runners' challenge is an extraordinary endurance event set in the breathtaking wilderness of the Withlacoochee State Forest at the Croom Wildlife Management Area. Participants embark on a dedicated loop amidst the surreal beauty of the forest, starting together and racing against the clock to complete each lap within a given time limit. With each loop, the challenge intensifies as runners push their limits, battling not just physical exhaustion but also mental resilience. The competition continues until only one runner remains capable of completing a loop, earning the title of the last one standing. This event is a true test of perseverance and determination, set in a stunning natural backdrop.
*Remember to add camping to your weekend. Event shirts can be pre-ordered separately. Meal and beverage tickets can be purchased the day of the event.
