NEW RACE ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’re stoked to introduce the first-ever 8-HOURS OF BERM — an all-new timed trail event hitting the sand near you in only 50 days!! Registration is OPEN!

No DNFs. No cutoffs. Just you, the course, and a chance to go further than ever before. You won’t need a crew. You won’t need a pacer. You will need every ounce of grit you’ve got.

You’ll be running the infamous Berm Loop section of the Skunk Ape 100 Mile Endurance Run course. It's called the BERM for a reason! Florida’s fire lines (or berms) are often cut through flatwoods or scrubland, where the soil is light and sandy. This creates fantastic forest roads for us to enjoy. It's like going to the beach... only in the middle of a forest! These Berms are cleared for visibility, which means little to no tree canopy. You'll get it all - From deep sand to not as deep sand, overgrown forest roads, exposed stretches, and some awesome real trails. The Berm is challenging both mentally and physically. It's a mix of natural resistance training and wildland adventure.

Registration is OPEN!

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.
