Embark on Florida's most legendary and grueling off-road bikepacking expedition at the HuRaCaN Bikepacking Challenge set for Friday, 7 February 2026 in Ocala. This self-supported ultimate adventure offers four distinct route options, from the infamous 370-mile Original route packed with singletrack and river crossings to the 330-mile gravel-friendly 'LiTe' version, all exploring the wild, remote heart of the state's diverse terrain. With a 7:00 AM Grand Depart from Shangrila Campgrounds and a coin flip determining the direction of travel just two hours prior, the event is a true test of navigation, endurance, and self-reliance.
Organized by Singletrack Samurai, the HuRaCaN is more than a race; it's a multi-day gathering of the bikepacking community, featuring pre-event group rides and exclusive campground access. It demands meticulous preparation and a spirit of adventure, offering riders an unparalleled opportunity to conquer "Wild Florida" and earn a place among the elite who have completed this iconic challenge.
