About This Race

The 6-mile distance offers runners a perfect introduction to the Dust N Bones course terrain while maintaining a manageable challenge that allows for sustained effort throughout. This distance suits runners looking to test their trail legs without the endurance demands of the 12-mile option, making it ideal for those newer to trail running or seeking a spirited workout rather than an endurance test. The shorter distance means runners can focus on maintaining a stronger pace across the varied terrain while still experiencing the full character of the course.

The course follows Mt. Zion's narrow, well-marked trail system through terrain characterized by frequent elevation changes, technical turns, and wooden bridge crossings. The trails wind through natural surroundings that complement rather than dominate the landscape, offering runners glimpses of Mississippi's forest ecosystem while demanding technical focus. Both distance options utilize the same trail network, with the 12-mile course offering a more comprehensive tour of the system's varied terrain. The narrow singletrack requires single-file running in many sections, and the technical nature of the trail makes it unsuitable for runners seeking fast times or personal records.
