Forgotten Florida

Forgotten Florida by Run Bum Races

Get ready for a memorable adventure through Florida's wild and scenic trails! This run is sure to be unlike any other trail adventure you've ever had, as this race is meant to take you to places even locals have not been to! Explore the trails in Tosohatchee, Charles Bronson State Forest, Seminole Ranch, Little Big Econ State Forest and then some. This is old Florida...The Forgotten Florida!

The Routes:

This may be the most unique and scenic race in Florida. There's a lot of very runnable sections. This race presents a variety of challenges perfect for seasoned athletes and newer runners alike. The route is a mix of rarely traveled single track meandering through the Tosohatchee and Seminole Ranch palm groves and pine flat woods. These woods are home to the most beautiful miles of trail in the state!

Wildlife:

Runners will likely have many opportunities to see a variety of birds. Tosohatchee and Seminole Ranch are home to hundreds of types of birds: from herrons and cranes to bald eagles and spoonbills! This place is simply magical beyond words. And though you are in Florida, rest assured that you will not be wading through a swamp with gators and snakes everywhere! There may be some mud, grass and roots here and there, (and we feel this adds to the fun and challenge of the run!) but this is not a swamp run.
