Huge thank you to everyone who came out for the 2025 Wild Boar Night Run. What an awesome night on the trails—so many strong finishes, first time finishes, and inspiring efforts out there.

From a fantasic potluck dinner to seeing all the kids running around and having a blast. It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do—community, fun, and a love for the trails.

We’re grateful for each of you who came out to run, your families, the volunteers, the cheering, and everything y’all did to make the night special. Can’t wait to see you all at the next adventure!

On September 11, 2001, our nation was forever changed. We pause to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families forever impacted, and the heroes who ran toward danger. We especially remember those with ties to Florida who were taken from us on that tragic day:

🇺🇸 Jacquelyn Delaine Aldridge-Frederick – Tampa
🇺🇸 Maurice Vincent Barry – Tampa
🇺🇸 Bernard C. Brown II – Tampa
🇺🇸 Mannie Leroy Clark – Sanford
🇺🇸 Steven Coakley – Madeira Beach
🇺🇸 Denise Elizabeth Crant – Fort Myers
🇺🇸 Johnnie Doctor Jr. – Jacksonville
🇺🇸 Bradley James Fetchet – Fort Lauderdale
🇺🇸 Timothy George Grazioso – Gulfstream
🇺🇸 John M. Grazioso – Gulfstream
🇺🇸 Lt. Stephen G. Harrell – Plant City
🇺🇸 CeeCee Lyles – Fort Pierce
🇺🇸 Stephen Philip Morris – Ormond Beach
🇺🇸 Donna Marie Rothenberg – Florida native
🇺🇸 John Talignani – New Port Richey

We will never forget their names, their lives, or their stories. May we honor them by living each day with courage, compassion, and unity.

The Green Swamp Skunk Ape

Reports of the skunk ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, there have been many sightings of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs in the Green Swamp area near Dade City, Florida.

Even so that several Big Foot research teams comes in the Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area in search of the creature.

It is said that the creature we have seen and studied in Pasco county is bigger, broader, and does not in any way resemble an Orangutan or aging chimp as the Myakka ape photos seem to. The Green Swamp WMA has long been known to be home to the Florida Bigfoot, or Skunk Ape. Several investigations many specific areas inside of the Green Swamp, has concluded that several investors are pretty sure that this creature does dwell inside the Green Swamp WMA, and has for a very long time.

Audio responses from wood knocking and also some sounds that many Paranormal Investigators and Professional Bigfoot Hunting Teams believe, could be the Skunk Ape. They have also found what appear to be nests of some kind, made by a large animal in Pasco County’s deep woods... bears can also be seen rarely inside of Pasco County. How the Skunk Ape interacts with local wildlife is unknown.

Tracks were also observed there as well. At the current time the creature in the Green swamp is still active according to our client and correspondent there. Footprints of the Pasco County Skunk Ape have measured 17 inches in length and their depth implied a creature of tremendous weight, perhaps in excess of 600 pounds. There are other reported foot prints which claimed to be as large as 24 inches long and 8 inches wide. They are human like but display no arch, and the first three toes seem to be a similar length.

The Pasco county Skunk Ape, when mature, is from 6 to 9 feet in height, comes in four colors, ranging from reddish brown, brown, black and occasionally silverish gray. The top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla, with a strong, unpleasant smell.

Investigators believe the silver ones to be old timers who have gone gray, much like human beings do in their senior years. Sightings of the silver bigfoot also described eyes that were milky blue, which could represent cataracts, which are also a result of old age in humans and other hominids. Most times his eyes are described as red at night, when reflecting light, and brown in the daytime. The silver Bigfoot reports in Pasco County, Florida, were said to have been of an aggressive nature, which is out of character for the Florida Bigfoot. Could this also indicate an aging rogue creature.

The silver creature was also reported to have chased two young men, out into the road and stood under a street light, which is also not the usual behavior of a creature who likes to stay out of the open and mostly stays in the cover of the woods, and underbrush.

Proponents of Bigfoot's existence claim that the creature is omnivorous and mainly nocturnal. Researchers have continued to find massive footprints, connecting it to another one they had found previous. This gives them more information, direction of travel and possibly new insight to develop a plan.
