USA Cycling has cancelled the permit for the Natchez Trace Century Ride, as well as all other events through May 3rd.
The well-being of our participants and employees are our top priority so, the Natchez Trace Century Ride will be re-scheduled for October 10th, 2020. Participants will be able to transfer their registration to October 10th OR defer registration to May 1st, 2021. We are currently working with BikeSignUp (runsignup) to update registration information. Please allow us until next week to have these changes in place. We will email each participant with instructions on how to make changes when it becomes available.
Thank you so much for your patience as we make these changes and for supporting the Natchez Trace Century Ride.
The Natchez Trace Century Ride is quickly becoming the largest spring cycling event in Mississippi. Over 700 cyclists each year have jump started their cycling season while discovering our small town charm and hospitality and 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.
Spring brings warmer temperatures in Mississippi…the glimmering waters and abundant wildlife around the Ross Barnett Reservoir will enhance the journey. Countryside stretches in Madison County steady the pedals for reflection, and around town spins delight with discovery of each place.
With your choice of distances from 8, 25, 50, 62, 67 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, food and hands-on fun every 10-15 miles.
Registration will begin January 6th, 2020.
January 6 – January 31 registration will be $35.00
March 23 – September 11 registration will be $45.00
September 12 – October 08 registration will be $55.00
After October 08 registration will be $65.00
