Three events. 69 miles each. Three different ways to suffer: point to point through Florida's Ocala National Forest, three loops in the Colorado high country, and an out-and-back through the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu.

Finish all three within any rolling 12-month period. Start with any of them.

Finish all three inside dog tag time: earn the patch and the 69 Series hoodie. It is never sold.

PASS is the cutoff for an official finish. DOG TAG is the faster standard that earns the event's dog tag.

Not for sale. Finish OCALA, OCOLO and OCALI inside dog tag time within 12 months and it is issued to you. That is the only way to get one.

January 16–17, 2027, Ocala National Forest, Florida. Point to point.

July 24–25, 2027, Nederland, Colorado. Three loops, more than 18,000 ft of climbing.

November 12–14, 2027, Malibu, California. Out and back on the Backbone Trail.

Ruck with Sam called OCALA "the hardest race I've done." Sam is an OCALA 69 finisher herself, and her team at Omni Athlete Training also coaches athletes preparing for the series.

Pathfinder Ruck Training built a dedicated training program for OCALA . ​
