1st race of the Cobra Den Trail Series
The Cape 5K and 10k will be held on the Tour De Wolf Trails and is our first race of the Cobra Den Trail Series. The race will start from the Tour de Wolf Pavilion and will be run on all dirt/grassy trails and some gravel road. The trails are mostly single track and flat with a few hills sprinkled along the way. The 10k route does go through a dog park area where dogs might be off leash but they are not supposed to be. The trails are open to the public, so mountain bikers, walkers, and other runners could be out on the trails.
Packet Pickup TBD at this time.

The race will be held in the summer months and Memphis is very hot and humid. Each race will start at 7am. Caution is required when running these races. Memphis also experiences summertime storms and these can be short-lived or very damaging. The RD has the right to postpone or cancel the race due to weather. We will do everything we can to get the race in at 7 am but safety of runners are our #1 priority.

Things to do:
Visit Shelby Farms Park. The trails that the Mamba race and Cobra Den Trail Series are ran on are part of Shelby Farms Park. The park is huge covering 4,500 acres and is one of the largest urban parks in the country. There are over 40 miles of trails both paved and unpaved and over 20 lakes. The park is also home to a herd of buffalo that you can see while walking the trails. www.shelbyfarmspark.org is the website so check out all there is to do here. The trails are open to the public during the day so not only will you see runners but you'll see people walking the trails or riding their bike.
