Residents across the area are invited to lace up their walking shoes and enjoy the beauty of spring along the Natchez Trace Parkway during The Great Trace Race, set for Saturday, April 18, from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
The community walking event is designed for participants of all fitness levels, offering a relaxed opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while staying active. Walkers will be able to move at their own pace and choose a distance that fits their comfort level, making the event suitable for both beginners and experienced walkers.
Participants will gather at the Kosciusko Welcome Center before heading out along the scenic trails of the Natchez Trace. Organizers recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, water, and a friend to join in the experience.
Following the walk, participants will travel to historic French Camp, where the morning will conclude with an optional brunch at the Council House Cafe. Participants are responsible for the cost of their own meals.
Organizers say the event is intended to promote community, wellness, and appreciation for one of Mississippi’s most treasured landscapes.
