Sufferfest on Section 4

SUFFERFEST on Section 4

Come and join us for this FAT A$$ event where you will traverse the very challenging Section 4 of the Pioneer Trail as many times as you can for 5 hours ( you DO NOT have to run/walk/hike the entire 5 hours that is just the alloted time we will have for the event)

Section 4 is 2.5 ish miles in one direction and you will go out and back on this technical and hilly ( yes we have hills in Florida haha ) section filled with switchbacks and overlooks of Black Creek and scenic vista's along the way on a mainly single track trail. Add in the heat and humidity of a hot august morning in North East Florida and you will get as much heat training as you want!

While most Fat A$$ events are self supporting, we at Sombrero Running Events believe in making your suffering a little more tolerable so we will have at least an igloo of cold ish water and some sort of electrolytes at the 1/2 way point ( 2.5 miles) which may or may not be manned.

AWARDS

While we are not doing any sort of timing and keeping this a low key event, we also like to have some competitive nature for those that want to see how their summer training is going. We are going to offer the "winner" or person whom does the most out and backs a comp entry into either our SOS trail race in september ( any time distance ) or our Premier Trail Race Festivus 100 mile trail race in December ( up to a 50 mile entry ). We will also giveaway a random entry fee as well to a lucky participant with the same parameter as the "winner". We will have some sort of tally method to keep track of whom has the most loops, possibly a "capture the flag" type where you need to return each loop with some momento we will have of our choosing for you to lug around.
