The Ivy Trek Ultra

The Ivy Trek Ultra is a challenging trail running event held at Clarkco State Park in Quitman, Mississippi. The race features three distances: 50K (four loops), 25K (two loops), and 12.5K (one loop) on a 7.78-mile loop course that includes double and single track trails, bridges, and scenic views of Ivy Lake and Gold Fish Pond. The terrain is deceptively hilly but the trails are well-maintained.

Participants can camp on-site with options for cabins, camper pads, and primitive camping. Aid stations provide water and sports drinks, and RFID chip timing tracks runners' splits. The event supports Friends of Clarkco State Park, enhancing the park's facilities and trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
