Here is what we have so far for 2025:
Here is the Facebook event page. The main organizer is Ari Hirschman.
Dates: Jan. 7 @ 3pm until January 10 @ 10am
Location: Trail Lakes Campground in Ochopee, FL
Event description: The annual, volunteer run, kickoff event for Florida Trail Thru Hikers – an amazing way to start your thru hike!
We will share trail information.
We will shuttle thru-hikers each morning to the southern terminus.
Food options are under consideration at this time. (But, we try to feed you).
Camping in group campsite is $25 (maybe $20) per person per night – payable at the campground office upon your arrival.
If you are not tenting in the group site, and prefer to have your own camp site then please make reservations with Trail Lakes Campground. This also applies to to those in campers/trailers/vans/etc.
We hope this is helpful!
