Mississippi Trail Run 100M 50M 50K & 20K

Mississippi Trail Run 100M 50M 50K & 20K is held in Laurel, Mississippi, on March 5–6, 2027. The Mississippi 100, a 100-mile trail race, starts on Friday, March 5, at noon. Saturday, March 6, brings the 50-mile and the 50K (31 miles), both starting at 6:00 a.m., followed by a 20K (12.4 miles) at 8:00 a.m.

With four distances spread across two days, the weekend fits everyone from first-time trail racers to experienced 100-milers. The 20K is a manageable target with eight to ten weeks of training, the 50K works as a first ultra after a 12- to 16-week build, and the 50-mile is the natural next step for runners with a couple of 50K finishes. The noon Friday start of the 100-mile means you will run through the whole night early in the race, so overnight training runs and a tested headlamp setup are important. Southern trails in March can be soft and rooty, so protective shoes and a plan for wet feet will help across every distance.
