Organiser's description
The short n' sporty version of the full Santa Fe Showdown, this 6 hour race is perfect for first-time racers, families, or new teams looking to work out the kinks!
Starting at Owens-Illinois Park in Alachua County, Florida, this is a 6-hour race through a landscape dotted by moss-draped oaks, towering bald cypress, and palmetto thickets strong enough to hide bobcats, whitetail deer, and the occasional checkpoint. Your race starts at high noon on Saturday and youll be deep in the wild by sunset deep enough to hear owls stealthy flight overhead and catch the reflection off a pair of eyes as the night animals come out to play. Is that splash by the river an otter, hunting dinner, or an alligator eyeing your canoe? Only one way to find out!
Race the sunrise as you try to get your checkpoints and ring the finish line bell before 6 pm!
We'll have our patented Possum Jump Adventures post-race party, including awards and a post-race BBQ.
Just a short drive from downtown Gainesville, this race is a perfect way to spend a summer weekend exploring, with plenty of lodging options and entertainment opportunities for any family and friends that come with you while you race!
