8-Hours of Berm

The 8-Hours of Berm is an 8-hour timed trail running event held at Ross Prairie Trailhead in Dunnellon, Florida. Participants run multiple loops of a 6.5-mile course featuring Florida’s unique berm fire lines, which offer a mix of sandy forest roads, oak hammocks, and dry prairies. The terrain is challenging with varied sand depths and exposed stretches, providing both mental and physical tests.

The event emphasizes a supportive, inclusive atmosphere with no cutoffs or DNFs, encouraging runners to push their limits independently without crews or pacers. Amenities include a main aid station with diverse snacks, on-site bathhouse, and camping options. Awards include trophies and a fun finisher’s jar of sand.
