Last of the Felascans 2026

Last of the Felascans is a backyard ultra held in Alachua, Florida, within San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park. Participants begin a 4.167-mile loop each hour, a distance selected so that completing 24 loops totals 100 miles. The race concludes when a single runner finishes a loop that no other competitor can complete; there is no conventional finish line. If no runner outlasts the others, the event concludes without a winner. The course is entirely unpaved, utilizing park trails during daylight and a dirt road after sunset. Each participant is assigned a small base camp area at the start/finish point. Aid stations are absent from the loop, and assistance is prohibited until a runner has completed their current loop and returns. Whistles signal the final three, two, and one minutes before each hourly start, at which point all remaining runners must be in the corral, prepared to continue. Entry fees for those who drop out are contributed to Friends of San Felasco, supporting the preservation of over 7,000 acres of hammock habitat, diverse wildlife, and unique geological formations within the preserve.
