Tip To Tip - The Great Florida Traverse

Mon June 1 - Thu December 31

All The Way - 901 Miles

All The Way takes you the full distance, 901 miles from Pensacola to Key West. You'll have 214 days, from June 1st until December 31, to log miles - that works out to 4.22 miles per day, or less than 30 miles per week. You'll follow the route that I would use if I were actually running the distance, using existing roads, staying as close as possible to the Gulf Coast. Part of each entry fee will go to local charities, you'll help keep some local businesses (the medal guy, the shirt guy, the timing guy) in business, and you'll get a really cool medal when you finish! For more information see the FAQ Page.

Just The Tip - 128 Miles

Just The Tip gives you the full flavor of the run without all the distance!. You'll have 92 days, from June 1st until August 31st, to log miles - that works out to 1.4 miles per day, or less than 10 miles per week. You'll follow the route that I would use if I were actually running the distance, using existing roads, from the top to the bottom of the Keys. Part of each entry fee will go to local charities, you'll help keep some local businesses (the medal guy, the shirt guy, the timing guy) in business, and you'll get a really cool medal when you finish!

Trek Back to the Mainland -128 Miles

If you've finished Just The Tip, and you want a little more than that ;-), then this is the event for you! This challenge will take you from Mallory Square back to Florida City (and maybe into downtown Miami, just because - or even South Beach in Miami lol), so you can get out of the Florida Keys. You have until the end of December (12/31/2020) to get it done, so plenty of time!

The $30 fee will get you another donation to the charities, as well as another cool Finisher's Medal, but NO extra t-shirt.

To enter this event, please email Race Director Mike Melton at mcmelton57@gmail.com and ask to join, and he will send you the link to enter. This challenge is open to only those who have gotten Just The Tip ;-).

All The Way Again - 901 Miles

This is the ultimate journey backwards - All The Way Again back from Key West to Pensacola! The graduate class of Tip To Tip - only those who have already touched Mallory Square will be allowed entry. If you want to be one of the brave, the few, the bold to do ANOTHER 901 miles - email Challenge Coordinator Mike Melton at mcmelton57@gmail.com and ask for the entry code to go All The Way Again ;-)!

Just A Little Longer - 165 Miles

This is the perfect event for anyone who's looking for a challenge but isn't ready to Go All The Way ;-). Starting in Miami and finishing in Mallory Square in Key West, it's approximately a 165-mile journey down historic roads. This challenge finishes December 31, so it's within the grasp of pretty much anyone with a pulse ;-).

This new Challenge is a journey from the Treasure Coast of Florida, where Challenge Guide Mike Melton lives, to the Mel Fischer Treasure Museum in Key West, right next to Mallory Square. It's about 275 miles of east coast beauty and traffic all rolled into one - lol! See the east coast of Florida in a new and different way - you have until December 31 to get it done!
