Mississippi Trail 50

The Mississippi Trail 50 is an annual running event held in the DeSoto National Forest, featuring multiple race distances including 100 miles, 50 miles, 50K, and 20K. Participants can enjoy a scenic course primarily on single-track trails through rolling pine forests. The event allows runners to switch distances during the race, making it accessible for those attempting their first ultra.
