Facilitation is led by Colette McLeod, a Licensed Therapist and facilitator who supports individuals and groups in reconnecting with themselves through grounded reflection, nervous system truth telling, and a blend of modern and ancient practices. Her approach centers sustainable change by honoring what is real without abandoning yourself in the process.

Honoring a long-standing river crossing tradition, participants may packraft across the river using either a short or a long crossing that can shorten the approximately 300-mile route by about 40 to 50 miles. Those who prefer not to packraft may ride to renegades and attempt to arrange a boat ride across with locals who own boats. Live tracking is part of the experience. A tracking device is required, an online page will display progress, and organizers will reach out to confirm tracking options. An optional shuttle is available for a limited number of riders, transporting from Inglis to New Smyrna Beach, with designated parking located about five miles from the finish. The shuttle costs $130 and is refundable if canceled at least four weeks before the event start date. Participants choosing the longer packraft option are advised to begin from the western terminus, and a separate shuttle serves that approach. Route materials will be shared via a Google Drive folder, along with an RWGPS event link. Please ensure emails from karlos@singletracksamurai.com are allowed so the information does not end up in spam. Files are licensed to each individual and must be downloaded and opened with compatible software. Once route information is released, there are no refunds. Rules emphasize self-sufficiency and fair play. The course must be completed under your own power, with exceptions only for medical emergencies. Drafting is not allowed. Participants must carry themselves safely and may resupply only at commercial establishments along or near the route. No prearranged support or SAG vehicles are permitted. Three checkpoints require proof of passage through photographs and, in some cases, video. Evidence can be emailed for verification or posted to Facebook or Instagram for review. There is no time limit or cutoff, and a mass start is available for those beginning with the group. Entry is based on a minimum donation of $80. In return, participants receive the route file, the trail guide, a waypoint restock file, and one souvenir. Donations help sustain and develop current and future routes, and once route details are distributed, refunds are not available. Questions can be directed to Karlos@singletracksamurai.com.
