tinue through corbett gate, generally there is no ranger and fee is paid by a unattended envelope kiosk , however
"persons through-hiking on the Florida Trail and persons exempt from the management area permit requirement, are exempt from this permit requirement for recreational uses other than hunting." so no obligation. if you feel like paying the fee becuase you loved the park, maybe do it on your way out so as not to bottleneck the entrance

if you are not there early this lot may fill up, at which point you can park on the shoulder along the fence
PLEASE BE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS COMPLETLY OFF THE ROAD AND NOT BLOCKING ANYTHING thank you

In 2010 I was wandering around west Corbett in knee deep water and head high wispy grass kicking submerged roots and for some reason thought…. “This is a great trail for a race!” 2012 was the inaugural race and has slowly grown every year in numbers. It would be fair to say Corbett is the most feared and challenging venue in Florida ultrarunning now. Anyway it is time to announce that the race will have a new RD next year, Leo Acosta! Most of you know Leo as a energetic and endlessly positive person who I am sure will continue to grow the JW Corbett Trail Races. As for me I still have a couple other races I RD and have my sights on something a little different. My goal in October is to put on South Florida’s premier timed 6/12 hour race at a venue that will be announced soon. PS dry fast trails.

The 2022 Corbett race was a huge success due to our incredible volunteers! Not exaggerating when I say every runner gushes about the quality of service at both aid stations. Words like “concierge service,” “spa treatment” and “spoiled us” were said over and over. Volunteers are the heart and soul of any ultra. Corbett’s heart and soul were overflowing yesterday. A million thank you’s to Dave Scheffel, his son Parker and the dingofish Grant Maughan out at Dupuis and also to Joe Erdei, Mark Cudak (and kids!!) Mike Strezinski, Mikey Bee, Ariel Bernstein and Debbi Zub. And thank you to the all around best helper Andrea Moxey for all your support and help!!
