Mulberry Mile: 12 Hour Ultra-Marathon : Hanceville, AL

The Mulberry Mile is a 12-hour open-course ultra-marathon held on March 28, 2026, at Whitewater Ranch near the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River in Hanceville, Alabama. The course is a private, measured loop of approximately 1 mile that runs along the ranch and the river banks. Only whole loops count, and a 100-person on-course limit is enforced. GPX files will be provided.

Events are offered as Individual, 2-person team, and 4-person team formats. Team rules require only one team member on the course at a time, exchanges at the start/finish area, and incomplete laps do not count toward team totals. Solo runners and teams may complete as many laps as they wish within the 12-hour limit. The event is chip timed with RFID.

An aid station at the start/finish area provides hydration, snacks, and basic first aid. Each participant or team receives a 10'x10' crew or camping site; tent camping is available for rent and additional lodging is available in Hanceville and Cullman. All participants receive a short-sleeve race shirt, a custom finisher medal with free stamping, and one meal ticket. Finisher medals and additional awards are given for top individuals and teams, including special recognitions such as the Spirit of the Black Warrior.

Packet pickup is scheduled the day before at a sponsor location in Cullman and on race day at the crew area at Whitewater Ranch. Registration closes the day before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
