The Course
This is an out and back course on one of my favorite long-run routes in the Green Swamp! You'll be running through the old forest roads and pasture lanes before turning left onto the Florida Trail. From there on, you'll be following the Florida Trail all the way out to the McNeil Entrance of the Green Swamp off of 471. You’ll be listening to the drone of frogs from all directions, hoots from the owls, calls from birds, buzzing of bugs, and the yips of coyotes in the distance. And of course, some squeals and grunts of the Wild Boars. Part of that sound and also silence, will make you wonder if “just that sound” was from something else... perhaps, the Skunk Ape.I’ve done this trail in the dry season and the wet season, but if you're looking to avoid the creek crossings of the Skunk Ape Night Run and Skunk Ape's Revenge, you're in for a treat! This race is for you! Unless we get some massive monsoon, you’ll stay dry for the most part of the course.
Course Marking
You will be following the PINK FLAGGING that has reflective tape on it. Areas in which you should NOT cross will be marked with the little pink flags. Don’t cross over the pink flags! If you don’t see pink, you better rethink. I know we all love an adventure but, maybe not an unplanned one. My phone number will also be on all the race bibs! :)
Drop Bags
There will be one drop bag zone at the Turn Around Point Aid Station at the McNeil Trailhead! It’s 6.6 miles down the trail. Drop Bags must have your name written on it! Use duck tape and a sharpie marker. Please try to keep drop bags no larger the a standard draw string bag. Drop Bags will only be returned to the Start/Finish after that Aid Station has packed up and left. So keep that in mind when choosing what bag you’re going to use. You will however, be able to drive out there to pick it up. It’s just past Colt Creek State Park, about a 25 minute drive from the West Tract.
Camping
Camping is FREE in the Green Swamp.Sites have picnic tables, fire rings and/or grills.A free reservation is required and must be displayed or available at campground.The Ashley Campground or Cumpressco Campground would be the way to go.Youll need to create a login at the Southwest Florida Water Management District website;https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/user/login?destination=/recreation/green-swamp-west-tract/activities

Did You Know....
Did you know? Skunk Ape sightings date back hundreds of years, including during the Seminole Wars. During the Seminole Wars, people ran into Skunk Apes in their battles near the Miami River and Big Cypress. The same goes for the Green Swamp - West Tract near Dade City, Florida.Reports of the skunk ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, there have still been many sightings of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs in the Green Swamp area near Dade City, Florida.The evidence comes in form of photos, audio responses from wood knocking, and also some other sounds that many Paranormal Investigators and Professional Bigfoot Hunting Teams believe, could be the Skunk Ape. They have also found what appear to be nests of some kind, made by a large animal in Pasco County’s deep woods... bears can also be seen, but rarely inside of Pasco County. How the Skunk Ape interacts with local wildlife is unknown.Tracks were also observed as well. At the current time the creature in the Green Swamp is still active according to researchers and locals there. Footprints of the Pasco County Skunk Ape have measured 17 inches in length and their depth implied a creature of tremendous weight, perhaps in excess of 600 pounds. There are other reported footprints which claimed to be as large as 24 inches long and 8 inches wide.The Green Swamp WMA has long been known to be home to the Florida Bigfoot, or Skunk Ape. Several investigations in many specific areas inside of the Green Swamp, have concluded that several investigators are “pretty sure” and are “very certain” that this creature does dwell inside the Green Swamp WMA, and has for a very long time.
