Natchez Trace 444

444 miles on 1 road  with no stop signs, no turns, no driveways, no dogs, no Walmarts...striking really. 

A RIDE THROUGH 10,000 YEARS OF HISTORY
THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY IS A 444-MILE RECREATIONAL ROAD AND SCENIC DRIVE THROUGH THREE STATES. IT ROUGHLY FOLLOWS THE "OLD NATCHEZ TRACE" A HISTORIC TRAVEL CORRIDOR USED BY AMERICAN INDIANS, "KAINTUCKS," EUROPEAN SETTLERS, SLAVE TRADERS, SOLDIERS, AND FUTURE PRESIDENTS. TODAY, PEOPLE CAN ENJOY NOT ONLY A SCENIC DRIVE BUT ALSO HIKING, BIKING, HORSEBACK RIDING, AND CAMPING ALONG THE PARKWAY.

Natchez Trace 444

Picture
 AI first rode on the Natchez Trace Parkway during the 1994 Southern PAC Tour.  I rode a section of it again during both the 2000 and 2002 Race Across America.  I loved the Trace and often thought of directing an event that traveled the 444 mile length.  My opportunity came in 2014 when we met with the National Park Service and created The Natchez Trace 444.  No turns, no stop signs and no traffic lights while traveling the longest, narrowest National Park in the country.  You have 44 hours to complete the ride and qualify for the Race Across America.

​Sincerely,
George Thomas - 444 Founder and RAAM and RAW Hall of Fame Inductee.

Start Times & Totems

As well as promoting cycling safety along the Natchez Trace Parkway we also want to highlight the historical names, places and traditions throughout the Region.  As a fun way of doing this, we decided to assign identifier "totems" per The 508.  For 2019 we made a little change.  Rather than assigning someone an identifier when they registered, we will award the riders their totems at the finish for use in all future 444s.  They've got to earn
them.
