The Keys 100, undoubtedly the most scenic, fun, and competitive race of the Florida ultra-scene, commences in Key Largo, at mile marker 100, and traverses 33 Keys en route to the southernmost tip of the U.S.—Key West—at mile marker 0. Along the way, runners cross roughly 40 bridges, including the most precarious by foot, if not most magnificent of them all, Seven Mile Bridge.

There’s something eerily romantic about running long distances under a starlit sky. What I’ve learned from personally taking part in multiple 100-mile races is that the hours between sunset and sunrise are often the most demanding. This race gives folks who don’t necessarily do 100-mile races the opportunity to experience the distinctive ambiance of nighttime trail running and the exhilaration of watching the sun come up as they finish.
