The Huracan 300 Challenge is the ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD ENDURANCE EXPERIENCE in the state of Florida, with two route options available!

The Huracan Bikepacking Challenge is the ULTIMATE OFF-ROAD ENDURANCE EXPERIENCE in the state of Florida. The Original route features over 100 miles of singletrack, many remote miles of double-track forest roads and abandoned paths and a few miles of pavement here and there. During the route, riders cross numerous forests, The Cross Florida Greenway, two mountain bike parks, and miles of some of Florida’s longest and hardest climbs. That’s right; we said long and hard.

Riders are on a self-contained and self-supported expedition on this magnificent mostly off-road route.

There are 3 route options available.
