The Ivy Trek Ultra

The loop is 7.78 miles, with one aid station in the loop. The start/finish area also serves as an aid station. Many participants use their cars for a pit area or tent, or have a support team.

All participants must bring a water container (bottle, hydration pack or belt). Coolers are provided to refill your containers. Littering may result in disqualification if caught.

Each participant receives an official race shirt made from soft, quality material.

The first 100 registrations are guaranteed a custom race patch.

Each finisher receives an official custom race medal.

The park boasts cabins, pads for campers and primitive camping, along with welcoming bath facilities and views you will not find anywhere else.

Park management is led by Tony Fleming (Mississippi Park Manager of the Year) and an group of volunteers, Friends of Clarkco State Park.

Park gate fees are covered in your entry, but overnight camping, cabin and pad fees are not. Call 601-776-6651 to reserve a cabin, pad or primitive site as early as possible, as spots fill quickly.

This is a new race, and it aims to become one of East Mississippi's premier trail race destinations in the coming years.

• 1 Masters male and 1 female (40 years and up)
• 1 Grand Masters male and 1 female (50 years and up)
• 1 Sr Masters male and 1 female (60 years and up)

Each runner must complete the entire course as it is designed and stay on the route to qualify for awards. Short cutting across trails is not allowed and will result in DQ if discovered or reported and found to be true.
