Mississippi Trail 50

The Mississippi Trail 50 is a multi-distance trail running event held in the DeSoto National Forest near Laurel, Mississippi. It features races including the 100-mile, 50-mile, 50K, and 20K, with courses primarily on single track and logging roads through gently rolling pine forest. The event offers a supportive atmosphere with aid stations, post-race food, and finisher mementos, including belt buckles for 50-mile and 100-mile finishers.

The 100-mile race is an all-or-nothing challenge, with a 30-hour time limit. The event promotes flexibility, allowing runners to switch distances during the race. It is a popular choice for ultrarunners and those seeking to complete their first long-distance trail race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
