Welcome to the Florida Trail Team Challenge, the Sunshine State's premier off-road endurance event! We combine thrilling 4x4 competition with a resolute commitment to land conservation in Florida. Founded in 2018 by visionary Director Marc Lawson, this unique off-roading challenge was born from Marc's passion to bring the excitement of national off-road competitions home to Florida, infused with our own distinctive local spirit.
What began as a dedicated passion project with the help of friends and family has rapidly blossomed into a significant annual event. Today, the Florida Trail Team Challenge is proudly supported by a growing team of over 8 staff members, 100 dedicated volunteers, and more than 150 generous sponsors. Our commitment to creating an unforgettable experience while preserving Florida's natural beauty makes us a leading adventure event in Florida.
Our Mission & Values: Responsible Off-Roading with Tread Lightly! At the heart of the Florida Trail Team Challenge (FTTC) lies an unwavering commitment to promoting the responsible use and conservation of our precious private and public lands across the state. We achieve this by proudly partnering with Tread Lightly!, ensuring sustainable recreational vehicle use. Our dedication to ethical land use is deeply embedded in every aspect of our operations. The Challenge boasts a Tread Lightly! Master Trainer, multiple certified Tread Lightly! Tread Trainers, and hundreds of participants holding essential Tread Lightly! 101 certificates. All competitors are strictly required to adhere to the core Tread Lightly! principles throughout the entire event. This ensures that our off-road adventures contribute positively to the environment, fostering a legacy of accessible Florida trails for future generations.

Ready to push your limits? Join the ultimate Florida off-road adventure! Sign up for the next Challenge today and see if you can survive!
October 3rd-5th 2025 in Withlacoochee State Forest
