The 6th annual Wild Azalea Trail Challenge is slated for January 6, 2018 at 6:00 am in the Evangeline Ranger District of the Kisatchie National Forest, just outside of Alexandria, Louisiana. At 26 miles, this is the longest continuous trail in the entire state of Louisiana. No other trail even comes close to the beauty and topography which abounds along the Wild Azalea. 

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. The trail includes visible 1/2 mile markers. 

There will be 5 participant classes: 13, 27 or 50 Mile Ultra Individual; 27 or 50 Mile Mountain Bike. All Mountain Bike will go off approximately 30 minutes before runners
