About This Race
The Hungryland UltraAdventure is a rugged trail race held in the Hungryland Slough Natural Area of West Palm Beach, Florida, challenging runners with distances up to 100 miles or a 33-hour timed format. Participants navigate a 14.3-mile loop through eight native ecosystems, including cypress swamps and pine flatwoods, where conditions can shift rapidly between bone-dry and ankle-deep water. This event emphasizes environmental stewardship and provides a "grand tour" of one of Florida's most meticulously restored wilderness areas.
What Makes It Unique
- It holds the distinction of being the first 100-mile ultramarathon ever permitted within a Palm Beach County Natural Area.
- The course utilizes a "pseudo iron cross" design, creating a 14.3-mile true loop with no repeated sections or out-and-backs.
- Participant capacity is strictly limited to approximately 100 runners to minimize the ecological footprint on the sensitive, restored habitats.
