Diablito 50/50

Diablito 50/50 : Tickfaw State Park, Springfield LA

Diablito 50/50 is an ultrarunning event offering the following distances:

• 50 Miler
• 50K

The course uses the River Trail, described as a 5-mile trail loop that runs along the river. Organizers note the presence of wildlife, including poisonous snakes and alligators, and advise awareness on the trail. There are two aid stations: an unmanned halfway point providing water, electrolytes, snacks, and ice, and a main aid station at the start/finish with ice, electrolyte water, soda, snacks, and fully cooked food.

The venue, Tickfaw State Park, features over a mile of boardwalks through four ecosystems: a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest, and the Tickfaw River. The park includes a nature center with an 800-gallon aquarium and exhibit displays. Lodging options at the park include 30 improved campsites, 20 unimproved campsites, and cabins/group camp units; cabins provide basic cookware, utensils, dinnerware, silverware, towels, and linens, while group camp visitors must supply some items themselves.

Race provisions include a finisher medal, swag items such as a T-shirt, headbands, and a cooling car seat towel, and awards for the top three male and female finishers at each distance. Race day food offerings list multiple items and include vegan options. The event lists a 14-hour cutoff for both distances and notes registration closes Fri, Jul 24 at 11:59 PM CT.
