Frosty 15 Information
Frosty 15 is an out and back 15 mile and 15k trail race on the beautiful and historic Yockanookany section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail in Madison, MS on February 8th. THE RACE CAP is 120 runners across both distances. The course offers a fun, often rugged, single track trail that runs from the West Florida Boundary trailhead at mile marker 108, north to the Highway 43 Trailhead and back for the 15 mile course. This trail is open to hikers and horse back riders, so there will be horse hoof "holes" in the trail. There will be a turnaround point along the trail for the 15K course.
