Ellie Biscuit 20 & 10-Mile Trail Race

General Race Info

*** YOU MUST BE REGISTERED BY JANUARY 8, 2027 TO BE GUARANTEED A RACE HOODIE. *** Welcome to the Ellie Biscuit 20 & 10-Mile Trail Race. We are so glad you are here!  The Ellie Biscuit will be taking place on Saturday, January 23th, 2027 at Pt Washington State Forest. Start/finish is at the Eastern Lake Trailhead off of CR-395S.  The 20-miler kicks off at 7:00am, the 10-mile race at 7:30am.  As always, this is a relatively bare bones, no frills kind of run, but all runners who register before January 8th will receive the always awesome coveted Ellie Biscuit hoodie!

Course

Again, the Ellie Biscuit will be starting at the Pt Washington State Forest Eastern Lake trailhead, off of CR-395S.  The courses themselves are on the Pt Washington State Forest trail system.  For those unfamiliar with the Pt Washington State Forest…to be sure, it’s Florida forest at its absolute finest!  A truly beautiful course.  The 10-miler will consist of a single loop of the 10-mile course, with the 20-miler consisting of two laps of the 10-mile loop. Course maps can be found at: https://www.runrotorhead30a.com/ellie-biscuit

Terrain

While on the trails you can expect tree roots, rocks, sand, fallen over trees, and potentially, if there's rain, standing water and mud.  In other words, pure awesomeness!!!  Again, I just wanted to discuss the terrain so no one shows up on race day expecting a groomed running path with no trip hazards and with aspirations of going home with clean shoes.  Simply put, not gonna happen!

Awards + Swag

All participants who register prior to January 8th will receive the beloved Ellie Biscuit race hoodie.  It's going to be way cool!  There will be awards given to the men’s and women’s overall winners and runner ups from each course. First place male and female age group winners will also receive an award. Age group : 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+ (male/female for each race) All registered runners who successfully complete their race will receive an always cool finisher’s award. (Awards and finishers medals not picked up at the event can be shipped to home address at runners expense if needed.)

Refund Policy

Refund Policy As a runner, it’s inevitable that at some point you’ll register for a race and later find out you’re unable to make it to the start line. It happens to all of us. Race registrations open months in advance, and life happens in between — injuries, work, family emergencies, and unexpected situations. We absolutely get it — truly. Many of us have signed up for races we couldn’t attend, and we know firsthand that it’s disappointing. However, even if the race hasn’t occurred yet, we’ve already incurred significant expenses to make the event happen. We pay taxes on registration income, secure permits, purchase insurance, and order supplies such as signage, course markings, bibs, hats, medals, and other awards. For these reasons, we are unable to offer refunds. Transfers While we cannot issue refunds, we can offer you the option to transfer your registration to another runner. Registered participants may transfer their bib to another runner within the designated transfer period. It is the participant’s responsibility to complete the transfer process by the posted deadlines. ***When you sign up for this event, you acknowledge and accept that registration fees are non-refundable.

Safety Policy

For the safety of all participants, volunteers, and spectators, animals are not permitted to participate in races (this includes dogs, cats, kangaroos, llamas, etc). This policy is determined by our event insurance requirements and local permitting conditions and is not at the discretion of our staff on race day. Strollers, wagons, and similar wheeled equipment are welcome but must start in the back of the pack to ensure the safety and flow of runners. Please be mindful of narrow trail sections, congestion points, and other participants. If you are planning to participate with a certified running wheelchair or adaptive running device, please contact us prior to race day. We are happy to make reasonable accommodations and work with you to ensure a safe and inclusive experience. We understand these guidelines may be disappointing for some, and we truly appreciate your cooperation. To avoid any confusion or last-minute issues, please review event rules in advance and reach out with any questions before race day. Our goal is always to provide a safe, enjoyable, and compliant event for everyone.
