Tough Mudder
December 3, 2011December 3 - 4, 2011!
December 4 - What great weather we had this weekend for the Tough Mudders competiting here at Little Everglades! Great people having a great time for a great cause! Check back soon for the complete picture gallery!
Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing endurance road race. Its Ironman meets Burning Man, and it is coming to Little Everglades Ranch! Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. All Tough Mudder sponsorship proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. Only 78% of participants at Tri-State 2010 finished. Only those in strong physical condition should enter.

Steeplechase
February 24, 2011Our steeplechase horse races take place on the beautiful mile and a quarter grass track located at the Little Everglades Ranch. What distinguishes a steeplechase from a standard horse race are the jumps that are located at various points throughout the course of the track. The Little Everglades Steeplechase has been a delight for the competitors and the spectators! We hope to be able to see the Steeplechase run again here at Little Everglades Ranch in the future.<P> <P>
