Join us on December 27th through January 2nd for seven days of
Half Marathons and Full Marathons! We call it… the SAVAGE SEVEN!

THE 2024 SAVAGE SEVEN HAS BEEN CANCELED - PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REGISTER FOR THIS RACE.

Hi Fellow Runners!  I invite you to run with runners who have done the most marathons in the U.S. and maybe the world. Last year we had the three men with the most races, as well as women with the most marathons!

We offer you 7 straight days of marathons and half marathons all on an asphalt path through a beautiful pine forest and gorgeous weather.

Each runner that completes a marathon or half marathon will receive a finisher medal for each race. Each participant will receive a t-shirt also. Runners who complete all 7 marathons or half marathons will receive a very special second award.

Sign up today for an experience of a life time! Please call me or email me if you have any questions.

Greenway trail

Savage Racing, LLC will be hosting the Savage Seven in Ocala, Florida at The Baseline Trail Head is located at 4255 SW Baseline Road, Silver Springs, FL (6 miles from downtown Ocala). The whole idea of the Savage Seven is to accommodate runners who want to run as many marathons as possible in the shortest amount of time.

It is the perfect way to finish off the year with 7 Marathons, Half Marathons, or 50K races. Run around a beautiful 5-mile loop at the Baseline Road Trailhead during the week between Christmas and New Year’s! You don’t have to run all seven days, you can run any number of races or a combination thereof. There will be a special award for those who run all seven days. The weather normally averages between 50 to 80 degrees, usually with no rain (or snow).

Our course is mostly a 12′ wide asphalt path with no hills or motor traffic that winds through a beautiful pine forest. Runners will run five laps of approximately five miles each with no time limit.

The rates for the 2024 Race Series from July 2024 to September 30, 2024: $100 each for the 50K and the Full Marathon, and $60 for each Half Marathon.

From October 1st until race day the rates are $120 for each 50K or Full Marathon and $80 for each Half Marathon.

Race day registration rates are $130 for each 50K or Full Marathon and $90 for each Half Marathon.

Each race begins at 6 AM. Race day registration is from 5:30 am to 6:00 am. Those who register on race day will receive an official time, but may not receive a finisher medal or t-shirt.  Bib pick-up begins at 5:30 am.
