The Florida Run at Manatee Springs State Park
The Manatee Springs Trail Run is a scenic Florida trail running event held inside the beautiful Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland, Florida. Featuring 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon trail race distances, this event invites runners of all levels to experience one of North Florida’s most picturesque trail systems.
The course winds through shaded forest trails, towering cypress trees, and the pristine spring-fed ecosystem of the Suwannee River basin, offering runners a true Old Florida trail running experience. Smooth singletrack and well-maintained park trails make this race both beginner-friendly and enjoyable for experienced trail runners looking for a fast and scenic course.
Manatee Springs is famous for its crystal-clear waters and abundant wildlife. During cooler months, runners and spectators may even spot Florida manatees gathering in the warm spring waters, making this one of the most unique trail races in Florida State Parks.
Whether you’re training for a longer race, looking for your first Florida trail half marathon, or simply want to enjoy a memorable day running in nature, the Manatee Springs Trail Run delivers a welcoming community atmosphere and an unforgettable trail running adventure.
Join runners from across Florida and beyond for a Chiefland trail race that showcases the natural beauty, wildlife, and peaceful trails of Manatee Springs State Park.
