Dunns Ultra Marathon Badasses - D.U.M.B.

D.U.M.B.= Dunns Ultra Marathon Badasses

That's right we are some Bada$$es! to tackle this awesome terrain at the beautiful Dunns Creek State Park in Pomona Park, Florida just south of Palatka. This trail system has just about everything a Florida trail offers, EXCEPT no swamp :) and while there might not be any gators lurking there is a bountiful of other wildlife you might get to experience. We at Sombrero Running Events like to explore and challenge ourselves mentally and physically as we experience TRAIL THERAPY and this awesome 11.75ish mile looped course will challenge you as you traverse this diverse terrain. You will get to see the natural landscape consisting of longleaf pines, wiregrass and sandpine scrub that protects several endangered and threatened species such as the gopher tortoise, fox squirrel and other native animals. We can't wait for you to experience this beautiful state park and all that it offers, and establish history as the first 100 miler in its history!

Course

All distances (except the 8k) will traverse this mixed terrain 11.75 ish mile loop with some gradual inclines/declines and also up to the top of " Mt. Maars" at the 15k mark where you will see some spectacular views of the forest below you. There are some open areas that goes through some lush prairies and canopied forest with 2 shallow water crossings (there are 2 foot bridges you can utilize if you want instead of the water crossings, but you might lose your Badass status with your buddies if you do). This course offers a challenging and scenic route of compact grass and forest service roads and some nice wide terrain with some sugar sand areas but easily runnable in those spots and the last 1.5 mile of each loop is on the asphalt road leading back to runners village.
