TheTUDC has a reputation of uniting some of America’s fastest ultra distance runners with those testing themselves at the ultra distance for the first time, for it offers a flat, fast paved loop course, great volunteer support, plenty of on-course aid and generally runner-friendly weather. In addition, the race is staged fully within the confines of the beautiful Wakulla Springs State Park situated just 15 miles south of Tallahassee, Florida’s capital city. A throwback to “the old Florida,” Wakulla Springs State Park is home to the world’s largest freshwater spring and the historic Wakulla Springs Lodge.
Aid Stations: There will be aid stations every three miles. Restrooms are available at every 10K. Participants may set up their own personal aid stations alongside the course near the start/finish or near the picnic grounds. Aid stations will be well stocked with Gatorade, water, and the usual food items.
