about the race
On March 14, 2026 at 7:30am, the 2nd Annual Miccosukee GLADES RUNNER Ultra will begin, presenting everyone with the unique opportunity to run to-and-from the Miccosukee Indian Village on the iconic Everglades National Park “Shark Valley” loop. You will be running 5-kilometers or 16.5-miles or 50 kilometers, all on pavement, while surrounded by the mystery and magic of the Florida Everglades. Hosted by the Miccosukee Tribe, be sure to bring the family: there will be lots to do in and around the Village on race day.
Each race distance will be supported by a combination of fully stocked aid stations and water stops, with on-course support from race monitors and tribal police. Ultramarathoners will be running along sections of Loop Road, too! At each distance, you will have plenty of time to complete your race and receive a beautiful Miccosukee Glades Runner finisher’s medal. With a unique race shirt, runner goodie bag and food at the finish, plus a live alligator show and much more, great memories await YOU on March 14th!
This website includes everything you need to know—and a link to register. Course descriptions and map, the complete day’s schedule, race rules, aid station and drop bag details are all here. Volunteer information, too. Please read it all. See you in the Village on race day!
