Great View Dr Memphis, TN
This is a cup-less race. Please have something to carry water in. All orange ground marking flags will be on your RIGHT. There will be two sections that you'll see flags on your right and your left. This is because runners will be going on both directions. One section will be just before the Bridge Aid Station and the other will be by the big Wolf River Bridge (Half Marathon route). We will have food, music, cooling towels, fans, ice cold water, etc. all at the Start/Finish line aid station. All runners will receive a custom-made award medal. Series T-shirts will be given out to those who have not received one yet.
7 mile course
Wolf River Trails
The King 7 miler and 1/2 Marathon will be held on the Wolf River Trails, the same trails used for the Mamba 100 race. The trails are mostly single track, flat and very runnable. This race is for the very beginner runner to the most experienced. There will be generous cut off times and you'll be guaranteed a good time. This is the perfect race tune-up to head into the fall races. The race is a preview course of the Mamba 100. The route and trails will be the exact same loop the Mamba 100. The Mamba 100 is a 14.3 mile loop so we are taking away 1.20 miles for the Half Marathon loop.
Packet Pickup
Packet Pickup is Friday, August 14th from 4-6pm at the Wolf River Refuge Trailhead. This is where the start/finish line will be. You can also pick up your bib on race morning but try to get it by 6:30am so we can start the race on time. The course will be marked by Noon on Friday, August 14th. You are welcome to run the course any time after that. The trails close at dark on Friday evening.
Parking
Parking will be at the Wolf River Refuge Trailhead. When all parking spots are filled, please park on the grass on the backside of the parking lot.
Aid Stations
The North Mississippi Endurance crew will be manning a fully stocked Aid Station at Mile 3.7 for all runners. This is where the 7 milers will turn around and head back to the Finish line on the Yellow trail. The Half Marathoners will continue past this Aid Station for about 6 miles, then will hit this same Aid Station again around Mile 9.5. Please bring a water bottle or wear a hydration vest if you are running the Half Marathon.
Refunds
There are no refunds in each race or series of the Cobra Den Trail Races. Money has already been spent reserving the park trails, parking, porta pottys, food, etc. There are no roll-over credits to another race.
Weather
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.
