LABOR DAY TRIPLE: August 30, August 31, and September 1, 2025 (Labor Day Weekend)
PLACE: Cady Way Park (Trailhead), 2529 Cady Way, Winter Park, FL 32792
WHAT: Labor Day Triple--50K, Marathon, Half marathon, 10K, and 5K each day
(Five distance for three days. Yes, people do run three days consecutively)
START TIMES: Marathon and 50K -- 5:00 am; Half Marathon -- 5:10 am; 5K and 10K -- 6:00 am
TIME LIMIT: 9 hours (or so)
PARKING: Cady Way Park. GPS coordinates: N 28.59458, W -081.31670. Also, there is an overflow
parking lot nearby and a school across the street. All locations are convenient.
WARNING: Before you register, Read everything below. Here are the main points:
Not chip-timed. We are hand-timed. Let us know when you finish.
Courses not certified. Not designed for speed. NOT a Boston qualifier.
No age group awards, no t-shirts, no bling.
Cupless—bring your own bottle.
For 50K, marathon and half marathon you’ll need a light
Now, if you haven’t tuned out yet, be advised these events are no frills, low-key, casual, fun events. GREAT for first timers, maybe not so great for a PR. This is not a certified or sanctioned course—meaning, among other thing, NOT a Boston qualifier. Don’t expect much and maybe you won’t be disappointed.
WHAT YOU DON’T GET: t-shirt, hat, socks, or any other apparel, great bling (actually, any bling), cute reusable race bag, age group awards, spectators lining the course, crowds cheering you in, hearty food at the finish, exciting music, and a party afterward, all on a certified course. There are plenty of other events out there for you.
WHAT YOU DO GET: low entry fees, courses that are guaranteed not short, a simple finisher’s medal, a generous time limit, and a published finish time. But isn’t that all you really need? What do you do with all that other stuff anyway? You know you want to sign up. Really, where else can you run a marathon for $65?
COURSES: The courses are NOT certified--no Boston qualifier here. The courses are lap courses, meaning that you’ll do a double out-and-back multiple times. Which means you’ll see other runners going and coming. Not as boring as it might sound. In fact, many people come to prefer this course design. The paved, urban run/bike trail is flat and largely shaded. This is an open course, and includes two street crossings each lap. You are responsible for crossing safely. See Detailed Course Descriptions above for more details.
The marathon and half marathon lap is approximately 2.2 miles. The full is twelve laps and the half is six laps. The 5K and 10K lap is approximately 1.55 miles—two laps for the 5K and four laps for the 10K. The 50K is fourteen marathon laps, with two small laps added at the end.
Turn arounds for each distance will be clearly marked. Rubber bands will be available to help you keep track of your laps.
For more details and a crude course map, see Detailed Course Description above.
FINISH: When you finish, be sure to ring the bell and make sure the timer knows you are finished. Otherwise, you won't get an accurate time. Remember we are hand-timed.
AID STATION: The aid station is at the start/finish of the loop course, which you will pass two times each lap. We will provide plenty of water, Gatorade, and soda, along with a variety of sweet and salty snacks. This is a cupless race. Bring your own hydration device—water bottle, hydration belt/pack.
HEAT: Florida is typically hot and humid. We will provide ice for your water/Gatorade, hat, water bottle, etc. We will also have ice water in a bucket for you to dip your hat, cooling towel, etc. We will also have pickles, olives, and pickle juice, as well as a variety of salty snacks.
LIGHT: Marathoners, 50Kers, and half marathoners will need a light for the first couple of hours. It won’t get light until around 6:40.
BATHROOMS: The bathrooms are a little walk from the start/finish, but you’ll pass them during each lap.
DROP BAG: The start/finish is in a small pavilion, where you may leave a drop bag.
If you are still undecided (congratulations for reading this far), and you want to know what to expect, we won’t likely have world class athletes based on speed, but we will likely have world class athletes based on numbers of marathon completed. We have had at least five people who are at the top of the Mega Marathon List. Think four-digit numbers. Just imagine the stories!
VOLUNTEERS: We always need volunteers. Each volunteer day earns one free race entry for a long distance (50K, marathon, half marathon), or two free entries for a short distance (5K or 10K). Contact Bettie at [email protected]. You may use the free entry yourself or for someone else.

Welcome to the 8-Hours of Berm
Right in the heart of Florida in the beautiful and historic Ross Prairie. You'll run through longleaf pine forests, as well as oak hammocks and dry prairies while running through the infamous Berm Loop section of the Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run course. This conservation land was acquired in 1995 through the Conservation and Recreation Lands with funds from the Preservation 2000 Act. No DNFs. No cutoffs. Just you, the course, and a chance to go further than ever before.You won’t need a crew. You won’t need a pacer. You will need every ounce of grit you’ve got.

The Course
It's called the BERM for a reason! Florida’s fire lines (or berms) are often cut through flatwoods or scrubland, where the soil is light and sandy. This creates fantastic forest roads for us to enjoy. It's like going to the beach... only in the middle of a forest! These Berms are cleared for visibility, which means little to no tree canopy. You'll get it all - From deep sand to not as deep sand, overgrown forest roads, exposed stretches, and some awesome real trails. The Berm is challenging both mentally and physically. It's a mix of natural resistance training and wildland adventure.Course Map: https://caltopo.com/m/BUNC805
Aid Stations and Self-Crewing
We are really excited to be able to host this event at the Ross Prairie Trailhead because they are set up for this and have a bathhouse on site! We don’t want this to be a “come run your race and leave” sort of event and we’ll have everything you need to stay and enjoy the day!You'll be able to set up all your 10x10 tents to self-crew and do your self-aid if you desire. You'll get the map of where all of that will be located in race emails! Be courteous to other park users, pedestrians, bike riders, campers, and drivers. They take priority over you.

No Dog Policy for Our 5K Races
We love dogs and understand they are part of the family, but unfortunately, we cannot permit them to participate in our 5K races. This policy is in place because our event insurance does not cover the participation of dogs, and we must prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, both human and canine.
Key Points of the Policy:
No Dogs Allowed on the Course: For safety and liability reasons, dogs are not permitted to accompany runners or walkers during the race.
Spectator Pets: Well-behaved and leashed dogs are welcome to spectate along the sidelines, provided they remain under control and do not enter the race course.
Service Animals: Registered service animals are, of course, an exception to this rule, as they are covered under legal protections.
Alternative Participation Options: If you’re looking for a dog-friendly race experience, please let us know, and we can share recommendations for other events in the area that welcome canine companions.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable race for everyone involved!
