Description
The Croom Fools Runs course is a hit by everyone who does the race. The trails wind through oak hammocks on a well defined trail that takes runners through some of the best terrain in Florida.
Event Details
The Forest Service has set the race field at 300 runners so register early to ensure a slot - we did sell out last year.

The aid stations will have water, sports drink, gels, and some food, but understand that this is a trail run and there will not be stops every mile.
