About this race

Registration will close at 7:00pm Friday May 1st (or if we reach 1000 participants sooner).

The Natchez Trace Century Ride is quickly becoming the largest spring cycling event in Mississippi. Nearly 1000 cyclists each year jump start their cycling season while discovering our small town charm and hospitality by pedaling on stretches of national scenic byway. This ride starts and ends in Ridgeland and provides an experience for riders of all ages and abilities.

With your choice of distances from 8, 25, 50, 62, and 100 miles with mild to moderate elevation, it is a great ride to find your stride and other specialties along the route. There will be “energizer” stops with snacks, water, and gatorade every 10-15 miles.

The Natchez Trace Century Ride will take place on Saturday, May 2nd at 7:00 a.m., and will start at the Ridgeland Recreational Center.  Registration fee includes: ride, event t-shirt, swag bag, post-ride meal.
