Tupelo Trail Shuffle - Trace State Park, Belden MS
The Tupelo Trail Shuffle is a trail running event in its fifth year held at Trace State Park near Belden, Mississippi. The event offers two distances:
- 20K
- 10K
The route runs mostly on single-track trails through hardwood timber and old growth pines and partially follows Trace State Lake. The course includes rolling hills with approximately 900 ft of elevation gain for the 20K and roughly 400 ft for the 10K. Trails are described as flowy with no large climbs or highly technical sections.
Race-day services include packet pick-up on the day of the event at Trace State Park and a pre-race packet pick-up the day before at Core Cycle & Outdoor in Tupelo. Race day registration and packet pick-up windows are provided by organizers. Aid stations will be located at approximately miles 4, 8, and 10 and will offer chips, cookies, fruit, water, and electrolytes; participants are encouraged to bring a reusable cup or bottle. There is a four-hour cutoff for both distances.
Entry fees are listed as $55 for the 10K and $65 for the 20K. There are no refunds. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers in each distance and all finishers receive a medal. Organizers provide hoodies for participants; swag availability may be limited for late registrants. A portion of proceeds will support the Mississippi State Parks Fund.
