Straight and flat. Get lost in a conversation with a buddy or go to the beat of the music. It's nicely supported with 4 hydration/support areas. There are cow pastures, you will smell them as well as wildlife. I recommend the race especially if you don't want any pressure.

An out and back course twice for marathon. Very nice bike trail, support, and management. Some have said it's boring, but they must not train in snow storms for 3 hours on treadmill. No frills race, but everything you need.

"Well, that was interesting" (about: 2014)

I ran this as my Mississippi for 50 states marathoning. This was the smallest race I have ever done (around 26 marathoners I believe), and was very well put together. It was easy to pick up our packets (race morning, outdoor table, no expo)- and we parked literally 15 feet from the start. Convenience and no-frills wise 5 stars. For me the double out and back was quite boring and very mentally draining, and I almost pulled out to the half. However, if you go into this race knowing what to expect (no crowds, more like a running club weekend race), you will be fine. Fast and flat, just bring an iPod or a chatty friend. Nicely organized.

This was an inaugural event on a paved rails-to-trails in Mississippi. A double out and back made the course somewhat boring, but still scenic enough. Awesome volunteers, no real crowd at all. Fewer than 100 runners, full & half combined. Would be a good spot for a PR, but not chip timed. It would be good to see this race grow, great location & well organized.
