Diablito 50/50

Diablito 50/50 at Tickfaw State Park

Diablito 50/50 is a trail event held at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, Louisiana. Distances offered:

• 50 Miler
• 50K

The course uses the River Trail, a five mile trail loop that runs along the Tickfaw River. The trail passes through park habitats and participants may encounter local wildlife; poisonous snakes and alligators have been reported on or near the trail. Two aid stations support the course: an unmanned halfway station with water, electrolytes, snacks, and ice, and a main station at the start and finish offering ice, electrolyte water, soda, snacks, and fully cooked food. The time cutoff is 14 hours for both distances.

Tickfaw State Park features over a mile of boardwalks through four ecosystems, a nature center, and an 800 gallon aquarium with fish from the Tickfaw River. Park lodging options include 30 improved campsites, 20 unimproved campsites, cabins and a group camp; cabins and group camp provide basic cookware and linens while guests supply food and personal items.

Finisher medals are awarded and the top three men and women in each distance receive custom awards. Participant swag includes a T shirt, headbands, and a cooling car seat towel. Start and finish area food includes several snack and sandwich options and vegan choices. Registration closes Mon, Jul 20 at 11:59 PM CT. Discounts apply for military, donor, and first responders with proof due within 24 hours. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
