Diablito 50/50

Diablito 50/50 is a trail ultramarathon held at Tickfaw State Park in Springfield, LA. The event offers two distances:

• 50 Miler
• 50K

The course uses the River Trail, a roughly 5 mile trail loop that runs along the river. The organizer notes the presence of wildlife on and around the trail, including poisonous snakes and alligators. Two aid stations are provided: a midway unmanned station with water, electrolytes, snacks, and ice, and a main aid station at the start and finish with ice, electrolyte water, soda, snacks, and fully cooked food.

Tickfaw State Park features over a mile of boardwalks through four ecosystems, including a cypress/tupelo swamp and bottomland hardwood forest. The park has a nature center with an 800 gallon aquarium and exhibits on local animals, history, and culture. Park lodging and camping options include improved and unimproved campsites and cabins with basic cookware, utensils, dinnerware, silverware, towels, and linens; group camp visitors are asked to bring their own dishes and linens.

Event swag includes a T shirt, headbands, and a cooling car seat towel. Finishers receive a medal and the top three male and female finishers in each distance receive custom awards. Discounts are available for military, donors, and first responders with proof within 24 hours. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
