The John Holmes Trail Run is just over a month away so time to get focused. The race will be at Croom Forest within the Withlacoochee State on Saturday, October 1. The beautiful course winds through the park past oak hammocks and other great Florida backcountry scenery.

Here comes another great

season of trail running:

Oct. 1 - John Holmes Trail Run 50K/16M/9M

Nov. 27 - X-Country Marathon, 30K, 1/2-Mar. & 5K

Jan. 7 - Croom Zoom 100K/50K/25K

Jan. 29 - FL Challenge Half Marathon & 5K

April - Fools Run 50M/50K/16M

April - Claw 10M & 5M

This is a one of the Grand Daddies of 50Ks since it started in 1992. In 2006, the race was renamed in honor of one of the race founders, John Holmes, a long time runner and supporter of Florida trail running.

This is very well marked course and it is scenic and great fun to run. Trail shoes are a help but not necessary. Challenge yourself to this great event. The post race feast will include burgers along with the usual post race fare.
