Spring Equinox Ultras & 10 Miler

THE FIRST ULTRA OF SPRING!

Brought to you by Brenton Day, Running Monk Brewing Co., and FORGE Racing.

BASIC INFO:

Location/Course- Located in the heart of the Homochitto National Forest, in Meadville, MS lies the “Clear Springs Recreation Area” that boasts 30+ miles of beautiful rolling singlrtrack trails. The rolling hills range from slow an long, to shorter steep climbs. The typical surface for the area is hard packed dirt, soft dirt, a few low lying damp areas, roots, and some great bridges. You will be running along ridges with beautiful views of valleys filled with pine and hardwood trees.

Aid Stations- There will be a number of “manned” and “unmanned” aid stations on the course with fluids, ultra food, including CLIF products.

Drop Bags- Drop bags are fine, but they need to be dropped off THE NIGHT BEFORE THE RACE WITH THE RACE DIRECTORS. YOUR NAME MUST BE PLAINLY LOCATED ON YOUR BAG.

Camping- There are plenty of primitive, improved, and rv camp sites within a quarter mile of the start/ finish area. PLEASE- reserve your camping spots early because early spring is a busy camping time in the National Forest. You can reserve a camping spiot by using the link below:

FORGE Racing- must reserve these spots. i am reserving plenty, so we all can fit and I will just collect a little coinage at the race to cover the cost. Sound good?

The Start & Finish Area- will be in the camping area near the spring-fed Clear Springs Lake.
