About the Caloosa Fest
The trails at Caloosahatchee Regional Park give this race real variety. The shorter course rolls through grass, packed dirt, and mild single track, staying on the gentler paths through the park. The half marathon reaches further into the system, mixing open perimeter stretches with winding single track and technical sections. Carry your own water if you are running the longer distance.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a running store in Fort Myers, with race-morning pickup opening well ahead of the first start. Parking is on grass inside the mountain bike park, and staff direct you when you arrive. Canopy tents and crew support are welcome in the open space near the start.

The Caloosa Fest has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
