Mulberry Mile 12-Hour Ultra-Marathon
The Mulberry Mile is a 12-hour open-course trail endurance race held on a private 1-mile closed loop at Whitewater Ranch along the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River. The course is off-road and technical, measured to 1 mile with a published GPX file on Garmin Connect.
Race formats include:
- 1 mile loop repeated for Solo, 2-person team, and 4-person team
Solo runners attempt as many whole loops as they wish within the 12-hour window. Team rules allow only one team member on course at a time, require exchanges at the start/finish area, and count only fully completed loops toward team totals. If a team member cannot complete a whole loop due to injury, the incomplete loop does not count.
Support and facilities include a reserved 10' x 10' crew site per entry, an aid station at the start/finish with hydration, snacks, and first aid, on-site medical services, and limited rentable power drops. All participants receive a finisher medal with free stamping and a post-race meal. Camping is available for $10 per night; additional lodging is available in Hanceville (8 miles) and Cullman (15 miles). Participant and crew parking is free on-site; spectator parking is $5 per vehicle.
