Subject: RE: MOVING TO HATTIESBURG I moved to Hattiesburg 1 1/2 years ago. I am associated with USM and there is a pretty good group of triathletes. There are a several doing full Iron Man's this year that are members of the local running club ( www.pinebeltpacers.org ). The Long Leaf Trace rails to trails is 41 miles starting from the USM campus in Hattiesburg and terminating at Prentise ( http://www.longleaftrace.org/). There is a group ride every Sunday at 1:30 starting at the trail head ( USM ) - the ride is usually 40 - 50 miles. The group ride will generally get of of the trace and hit a few hills (nothing major - Mississippi is not known for hill country ).
There are several Tris - sping to fall within an hour or 2 drive - Soak up the Sun, The Heat Wave and the Sunfish to name a few. Of course there is the Powerman dualathlon seriers in Alabama that is a hugh draw ( Alabama appears to have a pretty big scene ).
Not a bad place - welcome...
