About this event

Push your limits at the In the Woods 30A 50K, a grueling yet beautiful ultra-trail race through the longleaf pine wilderness of Point Washington State Forest. The course covers 31.07 miles across three loops, with a 9.5-hour cutoff time, winding through sandy single-track trails, wooden bridges, and the untamed Florida backcountry that makes this one of the Southeast's most scenic ultra events.

Hosted by Run Rotor Head 30A, the race offers solo, two-person relay, and three-person relay options — welcoming both hardcore ultrarunners and teams looking to share the challenge. Packet pickup takes place the evening before at Fleet Feet Inlet Beach.

Best for:

Ultrarunners, trail racing enthusiasts, and teams looking for a relay challenge in a beautiful natural setting

What to expect:

A 31-mile ultra run through Point Washington State Forest on three loops of sandy trails; solo and relay options; 9.5-hour time limit; pre-race packet pickup at Fleet Feet Inlet Beach
