Savage Race at Little Everglades Ranch by Richard K. Riley

Saturday, Oct 25, 2014 | On Target Page: Dade City, Dade City Community Events, Richard K. Riley
The Little Everglades Ranch—once known for hosting the Florida Steeplechase— has distinguished itself as a premier destination for another type of race. One that's far less elegant.

The ranch hosted its third Savage Race, one of a growing number of extreme mud runs that have found a home in Pasco County. The Savage Race brought more than 6,000 people to the ranch last October, and registration for the April 13 race is already 96 percent full.

“This one is going to be our biggest to date,” Savage Race co-founder Sam Abbitt said. “We expect to have 12,000 people, and it will be a 6-mile course with 25 obstacles.”

The course will be totally different from the October race. “The great thing about Little Everglades Ranch is it's so big we're able to make variations to the course,” Abbitt said. “We don't want people to come and run the same course they already did.”
