The Colt 45 is held on the trails in the beautiful Colt Creek State Park in Lakeland. This park is home to a rich ecosystem, you may spot bald eagles, white-tailed deer, alligators, otters, gopher tortoises, and fox squirrels along your route. Whether you're chasing a PR or just chasing the sunset, The Colt 45 Trail Race is your chance to run wild in one of Florida’s most beautiful parks. There are four distances - so there’s something for everyone! Ready to run? CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE: - Colt Double Malt (60 Miles) Four 14-mile loops, plus a starter loop, for those craving that extra kick. Start Time: 7:00 AM - The Original Colt 45 (45 Miles) Three 14-mile loops plus a 3-mile starter loop. Start Time: 7:00 AM - Colt Silver (45K) Two 14-mile loops—just enough to feel the burn. Start Time: 8:00 AM - Colt Mini (14 Miles) One loop to rule them all. Start Time: 9:00 AM The course will be open from 7am-11:00 pm for all four distances. Packet Pickup begins approximately 1 hour before race start times, beginning at 6:10am. Park gates open at 6:00am. AID STATIONS - Each 14-mile loop features 3 fully stocked aid stations to keep you fueled and hydrated. POST-RACE: Every finisher receives a handcrafted award, and the top 3 male and female runners in each distance will be honored with special recognition. After crossing the finish line, kick back with fellow runners at our post-race picnic—bring a camp chair, swap stories, and cheer on the final finishers as the sun sets over the pines.
