The Race

March 28th, 2020 | 8:00AM

The 2020 Blackwater 10 Miler is canceled. We just got official word from the state park that they have revoked our permit.

Having to cancel a race this close to the actual date is something we’ve never had to do and is a major challenge for us.

We would like to offer you 3 different options:

-1. Defer to next years Blackwater 10 Miler 2021

-2. Defer to our 2020 Krul Lake Half marathon Scheduled for November 21, 2020.

– 3. Defer to our 2020 Pensacola Half Marathon on Oct. 11, 2020. (not a trail but a great course in Downtown Pensacola)

Please let us know which option you’d like by March 26, 2020. If we don’t hear back by then, we will automatically defer your entry to the 2021 Blackwater 10 Miler.

This race is a point to point run on the gorgeous Juniper Creek Trail. Stick around after the run for great food! Awards provided for top finishers. Every person who registers gets a finishers medal and t-shirt. Run this race and learn about the unique, fun and wonderful world of trail running!
