Live Oak Ultra

Live Oak Ultra invites runners of all levels to explore the picturesque Mississippi Gulf Coast on Saturday, January 31, 2026. This scenic ultra race offers both a challenging 50k and half-marathon courses that wind through Biloxi's historic landmarks and serene natural areas.
The event begins with a run along the shoreline past the iconic Biloxi Lighthouse before crossing over to Ocean Springs via the bridge. From there, runners traverse the tranquil Gulf Islands National Seashore State Park, enjoying miles of uninterrupted coastal views and quiet trails. The race course is designed for both seasoned ultrarunners looking for a winter challenge and newcomers eager to experience their first ultra.
Supporting racers every step of the way are well-stocked aid stations manned by local volunteers from organizations like Ainsley's Angels. With a generous 10-hour cutoff, participants can take in the beauty at their own pace without feeling rushed or pressured.
Upon reaching the finish line back in Biloxi, runners will be greeted with cheers and refreshments at Altered Reality Brewing before heading to a lively post-race celebration complete with unique finisher awards for all competitors. The event's flexible refund policy adds an extra layer of comfort for those considering their race plans.
