Riverbend Ultras 12 HR/50K
About the race
The event takes place at the River Pavilion on Picnic Island in beautiful Riverbend Park. This year is special as we honor the lost ones from September 11, 2011.
This is a low-key, low-stress event focused on community and love of Nature, with something for everyone.
This is a non-profit endeavor, and all proceeds beyond basic overhead go to benefit the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund.

The course
Fun Run
50K

The course is a loop along the tranquil Loxahatchee River over gravel trails, including a section of the Lake to Ocean Trail, through the oaks and cabbage palms. Runners may spot deer, turkey, turtles, raccoons, and many birds along the way. The 12-Hour runners complete as many Riverbend Loops as they can within the timeframe, transferring to the Picnic Island Loop after 6PM. The 50K combines Picnic Island Loops with Riverbend Loops.
Location
City insight: Jupiter
Jupiter is the northernmost town in Palm Beach County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Loxahatchee River. It lies about 15 miles north of West Palm Beach and 84 miles north of Miami. Summers are hot and humid with afternoon storms, so the milder winter and early spring months are the best seasons to race.
