About
The Kilkenny Ridge Race brings trail runners to Stark, Mississippi, for a course that winds through wooded forest paths across rolling terrain. Runners choose between two distances: a 25-mile route or the full 50-mile ultramarathon, both following the same forested course.
Expect shaded single-track and forest roads typical of Mississippi woodland, with a steady rhythm of climbs and descents rather than any one dramatic feature. It's a course built for runners who enjoy long stretches under the tree canopy, away from pavement and crowds.
