2027 HuRaCaN Bikepacking Challenge

Ocala, FL, USA · Singletrack Samurai

About this event



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 4 route options available.
Original HuRaCaN Route 370 miles of the most challenging Florida terrain. Expect everything you have ever heard about the Huracan from all your friends, with a few more surprises thrown in. This is the route everyone talks about.
The HuRaCaN 400 is the hardest and most challenging conceptualization of the route that has ever been put together. This route premiered in 2024. It is also known as the What The F*** Route.
The HuRaCaN LiTe is a 325-mile gravel bike route with almost no singletrack or river crossings. It will combine Dirt roads, A-Roads, B-Roads, Bikepath, and major roads. This is essentially a Skinnier tire-friendlier version of the route. The minimum recommended tire width is 45MM.
The HuRaCaN HeaVy is a 330-mile route that could be done with a gravel bike. It has more singletrack than its LiTe predecessor. Like the LiTe, it has no river crossings, but it may take some sandy and primitive connectors to have even LESS pavement than the LiTe Route.
What you are purchasing is the information to ride the route. Information will be dispatched to riders on November 15th. This information is licensed per individual and cannot be transferred to another rider, and once the information is shared, it cannot be refunded.
In 2027, we are going to rent the entire campground again. Pricing will be simplified; what you pay includes parking and/or camping for the event, your schwag, Friday night pizza party, and drinks. More musicians, bigger expo, consider this the premier festival celebrating Florida bikepacking, and it just so happens some folks are gonna go on long rides.
Riders are encouraged to start arriving at the Campground as early as February 4th, as on Friday, we will have a shakedown group ride, expo, pizza party, and live music! There is a firm cutoff for your adventure, as all riders must be off course no later than the 11th of February at 11 am.
