Mississippi 50 Trail Run

I haven't done it, but have tons of friends who have and who are going this year. It's an excellent race, I've never heard anythign about it. Very popular down here as there aren't many ultras in this neck of the woods (that's changing, thankfully).

No real advice, you seem to have the right mindset. Run comfortably, if it's warm don't push it. Walk early and often if you need to. EAT. Stay on top of hydration and electrolytes, especially if it's warm.

Good luck!

I completed the 50k race at this years Mississippi 50 trail run.  The course is beautiful.  Lots of mud and water.  First loop was great, second loop the it band started giving me fits.  I finished really slow (7:34), but on a high from completing my first ultra distance trail race.

I have to say this course made me not want to do another urban road race ever again.

Already found Ultrasignup  .

Started looking at some of the closer races and the local ultrarunner group.  I'm thinking I need one of those 50 mile belt buckles.

There is something about running through the woods that made me feel like a kid again.
