Carl Touchstone Memorial Mississippi 50 Trail Volunteer Run

Each year a Carl Touchstone Memorial Mississippi 50 Trail Volunteer Run is held shortly before the open event. This is a closed race for specially qualified* ultra runners only. The Volunteer run is an official MS50 Trail run, and counts toward the ten year award.

The Volunteer Run is held about two saturdays before the  race date..

See reports on the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2021 and 2022 Volunteer Runs..

 A quality race could not be put on without these knowledgeable, able, runners willing to sacrifice the time and effort involved. They give up their chance to be an open participant in the premier ultra run in Mississippi. The Volunteer Run gives them the opportunity to run an equally challenging (and even more prestigious ?) Spring ultra locally. Many thanks and Kudos to all those who participate in the Volunteer Run.
