Painted Horse
Urban Ultra
February 21, 2026
Downtown Square
Ocala, Florida
This is Shae’s event! It is a low-key, self-supported urban adventure run. It is not a race. If you are aiming to set a course record or get a PR, this is not the event for you. However, if you like signing up for dumb events, running around strange places with a list of turn-by-turn directions, and taking pictures of painted horses, this is your jam!
This ultra is navigation heavy. It is not a race; it is an adventure, sightseeing trip, and scavenger hunt. There is no time limit, take all the time you need. There may be some water drops and special treats along the way, but don’t plan on this event being supported.
There are about 40ish painted horses that you'll see over the 33k(ish) miles. Most are gorgeous works of art, some are lovely tributes painted by students and teachers, and one is a hilarious salute to capitalism.
