About the race
Rougarou Running presents Live Oak Ultra, a supported urban ultra and half marathon held in Biloxi, Mississippi with portions running into Ocean Springs. The route passes local landmarks including the Biloxi Lighthouse, the beach boardwalk, the Biloxi-Ocean Springs bridge, Front and East Beaches, and sections of Gulf Islands National Seashore State Park. The event returns to downtown Biloxi for a post-run gathering at Altered Reality Brewing.
Distances offered
- 50K
- Half marathon
The course uses a mix of beachfront and town streets with relatively low traffic. Navigation aids include GPX course files for phones and watches, pocket-sized turn cards at check in, and neon tape marking key turns. Runners should expect limited signage and should remain attentive on the route.
Aid and logistics are organized along the course with approximately six aid locations providing water, Hammer Nutrition Heed and gels, fruit, and snacks. Some aid stations include restrooms. Drop bags are allowed at specific staffed stations; small labeled bags are recommended. The event sets a 10 hour time limit for the 50K and will use the Ultrasignup app for timing and results.
All finishers receive a finisher award. The 50K also awards top three male and female finishers and age-group recognitions. The half marathon awards top three male and female finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
