Hot August Night Trail Race

The Hot August Night Trail Race is a nighttime trail running event held at Holder Mine Campground in Inverness, Florida, within the Citrus Tract of the Withlacoochee Forest. Participants can choose from 5-mile, 10-mile, or 20-mile distances, with the 20-mile race consisting of two 10-mile loops. The course features single-track trails with packed sand and pine needle surfaces, gentle elevation changes, and is marked with reflective pins and glow sticks.

Headlamps or flashlights are mandatory. Aid stations provide hydration and support, and a post-race picnic celebrates finishers, who receive handcrafted medals. Camping options are available on-site for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
