The Wild Azalea Trail carries the honor of being the longest trail in the state of Louisiana. 

Parts of the trail are lower with hardwoods and lazy creeks creating a beautiful backdrop to your adventure. Other parts are higher and hillier with the Longleaf Pines gracing your path to the Finish line. 

This event is for all who appreciate the “old school way” of running and biking trails and suits primarily the intermediate to advance level of trail runner/biker.

The Wild Azalea is a well-maintained and mapped trail system so navigation will be quite easy and reasonable. 

Events offered are 13, 27 or 50 mile trail run, 27 or 50 mile MTB or 27 mile duathlon.
