Lake Kissimmee Endurance Challenge

This ultra-distance trail race will test your grit, stamina, and determination as you traverse the scenic landscapes of Lake Kissimmee State Park.

The 50K course consists of five 10K loops, winding through oak hammocks draped in Spanish moss, open prairies, and the winding trails of Old Florida. But there's a twist—honoring the heritage of the park and the Florida Crackers, which are Florida's original cowboys, runners will receive a horseshoe at the beginning of each lap and must be carried throughout the whole race. To continue onto the next loop, you must present your horseshoe(s) to get the next horseshoe and advance to the next lap. By the time you cross the finish line, you'll have completed 50 kilometers and earned five horseshoes—symbols of your endurance and strength.
