Mississippi Trail 50

The Mississippi Trail 50 is an ultramarathon event held in the De Soto National Forest near Laurel, Mississippi, featuring distances of 100 miles, 50 miles, 50K, and 20K. The course runs primarily on the Longleaf Horse Trail, consisting of gently rolling pine forest terrain with mostly single-track trails and some double-track logging roads. The 100-mile race is a challenging all-or-nothing event with a 30-hour cutoff, while the 50-mile and 50K races have a 12-hour limit and allow participants to switch distances mid-race, making it beginner-friendly. The event offers finisher mementos, including belt buckles for 50- and 100-mile finishers, and features well-supported aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
