Embark on a scenic and challenging trail experience at the Frosty 15, taking place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in Madison, MS. This event, organized by the Mississippi Ultra and Trail Society (MUTS), offers runners the choice of a 15.5-mile or 15K distance, both on a beautiful out-and-back course. The race unfolds on the historic Yockanookany section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, featuring predominantly single-track terrain that is often rugged, with "horse hoof holes" to navigate. Runners will experience a course with a starting elevation around 240 feet and a high point of 450 feet, with approximately 95% of the course on un-paved trails.

As a cupless event, participants should come prepared with their own hydration system. Two aid stations are strategically placed at approximately mile 2.75 and mile 7.75 (the turnaround point for the 15.5-mile race), offering water, Tailwind, fruit, and sweet and salty foods. Typical race day conditions in mid-February include highs around 62°F and lows around 40°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, providing a potentially crisp and invigorating run. The Frosty 15 caps registrations at 120 runners across both distances, fostering a close-knit race atmosphere.

Starting and finishing at the West Florida Boundary historic site on the Natchez Trace Parkway (milepost 107.9), the Frosty 15 promises a rewarding day on the trails. After crossing the finish line, runners can look forward to a warm welcome with grilled cheese sandwiches and soup, a unique post-race treat. This event not only offers a memorable running experience but also supports a great cause, as proceeds benefit the Mississippi Ultra and Trail Society in their mission to cultivate trail running and maintain local trails.
