The Course
A great mix of Single Track and Jeep Trail. The Great Scorpion Trail Run will offer roots, rocks and hills to challenge you, while the views through the trees of Bonita Lakes will make you smile. The final leg of single track for the loop is the Mardi Gras Trail complete with Mardi Gras beads and a welcoming downhill. Each loop ends with you passing the RFID antennas to capture your split. The parking area is right on the course, so feel free to setup your own pit stop without having to venture far away from the course. This course is marked really well. From Red plastic plates with the Scorpion logo to red and black flagging tape to neon green arrows and marking sprayed on the ground; we put a lot of effort to keep you on the right track so you only have to focus on running.

About Meridian
Learn more about the host city, Meridian.
Meridian is a city in Mississippi. It was a titan of commerce of sorts during the Reconstruction era and up through the Great Depression, even after General Tecumseh Sherman had torched it, due to its being a hub to five major rail lines and manufacturing during its golden age. It is now a treasure trove for some of the architecture preserved from that period. Meridian is also noted for being the location of the US v. Cecil Price court case, where several Ku Klux Klan members were charged for the abduction and murder of three Civil Rights workers in 1964 in nearby Neshoba County, an event analogously portrayed in the film Mississippi Burning.
