Turkey Burn Ultra

Turkey Burn Ultra takes place in Clermont, Florida, on November 28, 2026, put on by Warrior Races. Two trail distances start together at 9:00 AM: a 50K (31 miles) and a 25K (15.5 miles). A late morning start is unusual for an ultra and tells you the day is built around cooler Florida winter temperatures rather than an early escape from the heat.

Central Florida trail running is a rhythm exercise: sandy, rolling and rarely steep, which means you can run almost the whole thing and pacing discipline decides your result. The 25K works well as a bridge race for someone whose longest run is a half marathon. For the 50K, target a 12- to 14-week build with a long run reaching 20 miles, and practice drinking on schedule — humidity, not elevation, is what will catch you out.
