Started at the trailhead of the Coastal Prairie Trail at around 11 am, and the trail was the driest I've seen it in a few weeks. Still a few muddy spots but thankfully no standing water until the water crossing right before Clubhouse Beach. Doing the trail in the middle of the day helps, it's the driest then. Pretty hot and humid day with very few clouds and not much of a breeze. The trail isn't being maintained at all so there was a lot of brush and branches sticking into the trail and will scratch up your legs, and the trail also isn't super well marked in some places. I ran solo, carried all the food and water that I needed with me in my pack. It went pretty well! I was definitely a little undertrained but I kept a manageable pace and finished no problem. The last few miles were a little tough to crank out but got through it!
