Jacksonville, AL – Calling all endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts! Lace up your running shoes and prepare for an unforgettable adventure at the inaugural Chief Ladiga 100 Mile Trail Run, set to take place in the picturesque town of Jacksonville, AL. Scheduled for Saturday, April 13th, starting at 8:00 AM, this epic event promises to be a true test of stamina and determination amidst the stunning backdrop of the Chief Ladiga Trail.

Nestled in the foothills of Appalachia, Jacksonville provides the perfect setting for runners to immerse themselves in nature’s beauty. Participants will traverse a diverse landscape, including lush wetlands, babbling streams, verdant forests, expansive farmlands, and breathtaking mountain vistas, all while following the scenic Chief Ladiga Trail.

Whether you’re a seasoned ultramarathoner or embarking on your first 100-mile journey, this race is tailor-made for you. The course features a super-fast and crew-friendly route, with runners covering 50 miles on smooth pavement along the Silver Comet trail to Nathan Dean Park in Rockmart, GA, before returning to the Jacksonville Community Center to complete the full 100 miles.

Aid stations strategically placed every 8 miles ensure that runners are supported throughout the course, while crews have access to all but four of the 14 stops, making for a seamless and well-supported race experience. With a total elevation gain and loss of around 3,500 feet, participants can expect a challenging yet rewarding course that showcases the best of Alabama’s natural beauty.

Celebrate your achievement with fellow runners, friends, and family at the post-race festivities, featuring delicious food, refreshing beverages, lively music, and plenty of fun for all ages.
