Join us on November 7th, 2026, for the best endurance challenge in Southeast Florida! The Treasure Coast Endurance Challenge will take you through the stunning trails and waterways of Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Participants can choose between a 3-hour or 6-hour adventure race, and for those endurance runners, we will also be hosting a 5K and 25K creating a dynamic mix of competitors and a fun endurance athlete atmosphere.

The 3-hour race is perfect for newcomers to adventure racing, families, or those looking for a shorter, more relaxed experience. The 6-hour race offers a longer and more competitive challenge, emphasizing navigation skills and endurance. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or new to the sport, this event promises an unforgettable adventure in a beautiful environment!

Course Map: Download Race Course Map

Run the beautiful trails at Jonathan Dickinson State Park. The course is an out and back with a lollipop loop. The course will be heavily marked with reflective arrows and wrong-way signs, employing the same safety procedures we use for our ULTRA-TRAIL events, including water aid stations, experienced trail-running volunteers, and medical staff. The trail is mostly flat dirt with some sand, and roots within the Pine Wood Forest section of the park. The trail starts as double-track with some single-track trails with 2 bridge crossings. The course can be wet in some sections depending on rainfall. We can never say for sure what the Owl will bring on race day but the course can be 100% bone dry or you might have to bring your snorkels. Lol
