The Turkey Burn AR (2018)

Family 1-2 Hour, Challenge 4 Hour, Sport 4 Hour, and Elite 12 Hour Adventure Race

About the Race

Returning for its 16th year, The Turkey Burn Adventure Race will be continuing its run as one of the longest running adventure races in Florida.

Race director Dave Brault, who has been the race’s course designer since it’s inception in 2003, has some amazing fun surprises in store for all teams! Dave’s course have offered some of the most challenging strategy, navigation, and terrain for elite racers. They have also offered some of the most fun you can have for sport and family racers.

Family and Sport racers should also be prepared for an incredibly good time and race. Camp Joy near Rock Springs Run and Kelly Park offers the perfect terrain for adventure racing of all levels. The spring fed waters are crystal clear and beautiful, the terrain offers off-road biking appropriate for all levels of bike from family to sport level. The area has wonderful trails and is well-mapped. Family racers – this is a perfect spot for the entire family and a great race to bring all the kids and race with them. We expect beautiful weather at this time of year – so this is the best of everything that you can expect.

The Family and 4 Hour Challenge are both GPS legal. We understand that not everyone is comfortable with the navigation involved in an adventure race, so FLX will allow GPS units or phones to be used in these two events. These two events are designed to involve those that enjoy being outdoors with minimal navigation required (will mostly be on trails). Our hope is that combining the GPS with the regular maps will make teams more comfortable with navigation and they will move up to the regular, non-GPS, races later on.

Elite Race – This is the premiere elite race of the season. You can expect challenging navigation and terrain worthy of elite class adventure racing.

Camping

Camping and beds (bunk beds) are available at the race site for a very small fee. If interested, please email Dave at dave@flxadventures.com.
