The Ivy Trek Ultra

Quitman, United States • 27 Sep 2025

The Ivy Trek Ultra is a challenging trail running event held at Clarkco State Park in Quitman, Mississippi. The race features three distances: 50K (four loops), 25K (two loops), and 12.5K (one loop) on a 7.78-mile loop course combining mostly double track and some single track trails. Highlights include scenic views of Ivy Lake, several bridges, and the Gold Fish Pond.

The terrain is deceptively hilly but the trails are wide and well-maintained. The event offers on-site camping with cabins and primitive sites available nearby. Aid stations provide water and sports drinks, and RFID chip timing tracks runners' splits.

Awards are given across multiple age categories, and all finishers receive medals and race shirts. Proceeds support Friends of Clarkco State Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
