Date: Saturday April 11, 2009
Times: 6:00 am - 50 Mile, 7:00 am - 50K / 15 Mile
Location: Croom Trails - Brooksville, FL


The Croom Fools Runs course is hit by everyone who does the race. The trails wind through oak hammocks on a well defined trail that takes runners through some of the best terrain in Florida. The Forest Service has set the race field at 250 runners so register early to ensure a slot - we did sell out last year.


The Fools Run Races
There are 3 races that are part of the Fools Run Races - 50 Mile Fools Run, 50K I'm Not A Fool Run, and John Holmes 15 Mile Run. The main running trail is a 15 Mile loop. The 50 Mile race does 3 loops, the 50K does 2 loops, and the 15 Mile does 1 loop.


Water Stops / Aid Stations
There will be 3 water stops / aid stations along the loop and 15 Mile runners will have 3 water stops. 50 Mile runners with 3 loops will have 12 water stops / aid stations and. 50K runners with 2 loops will have 8 water stops / aid stations. Since this is a loop course, runners of the 50M/50K will have a chance to go through the main staging area during the race and can access drop bags. The aid stations will have water, sports drink, gels, and some food, but understand that this is a trail run and there will not be stops every mile. The locations of the aid stations can be seen by going to the link on the Trails page of this website.
