Red Dirt Ultra (Provencal, LA)

The Red Dirt Ultra is the 10th edition trail ultramarathon held on the Sandstone and Caroline Dormon Trail in Kisatchie National Forest. The course runs through longleaf pine stands and along the Kisatchie Bayou and includes a mix of loose and hard packed sand, stream crossings, climbs and descents, and long runnable sections.

Distances offered:

  • 100K about 66 miles
  • 50K about 33 miles

Aid stations are staffed by experienced ultra runners and volunteers. Aid stations provide support on the course, and volunteers offer vegan food options at the finish and at the mid-loop aid station. The cutoff time for all races is midnight, which allows 18 hours to complete the 100K.

Registration closes on Wed, Feb 18 at 11:59 PM ET. To mark the 10th year, there is a registration discount available during an early bird period through August: $20 off the 100K and $10 off the 50K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
