Provencal, LA
Join us on the beautiful Sandstone and Caroline Dormon Trail in Kisatchie National Forest for the 8th edition of the Red Dirt Ultra. This rugged trail consist of loose and hardpacked sand, stream crossings, climbing and descending, long runnable sections through the long leaf pines and a jaunt alongside the Kisatchie Bayou. You can see the beauty of the trail by visiting the website and clicking on the "Gallery" tab to view pictures and videos taken by other runners!
What makes this race so special is the community. The aid stations are manned by experienced ultra runners who know what it takes to get to the finish line! Our volunteers even provide vegan food options at the finish line and at the mid- loop aid station. PLEASE NOTE: the 50K is actually about 33 miles and the 100K is about 66 miles!
The race directors, Fawn Hernandez, Justin Hernandez, and Jimmy Tarbell, are avid ultra runners and have all participated in Red Dirt before taking over the race! That's how you know you'll be well looked after at the Red Dirt Ultra!
