Course Map (4 mile loop)

Parking

Parking is very limited at the Wolf River Refuge Trailhead. We have rented an additional parking area at the Agricenter. There will be signs showing where to park. The additional parking area is on Smyth Farm Road just south of the RV Park. The parking area will be a grass field. This parking area is about a mile from the start/finish line so if you want extra miles besides the race, then this will be a good area to park at.

Packet Pickup

Packet Pickup is Friday, June 28th from 4-7pm 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.

If you got a series T-shirt at the Cape race then you will only receive your bib for the remainder of the races.

The course will be marked by Noon on Friday, June 28th. You are welcome to run the course anytime after that. The trails close at dark on Friday evening.

Wolf River Trails

The Samar 4 and 8 miler 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.

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.

RV Campground

The Samar 4 & 8 miler has plenty of RV camping at the RV Park at Agricenter International. Within walking distance to the start line, the RV Park offers sites with sewer, 30-amp & 50-amp electrical hook-ups, water, dump station, restrooms, shower, and laundry facilities. The RV Park at Agricenter is the perfect location if you plan on bringing or renting an RV for the race. The main car parking area for the race is right across the street from the RV campground.

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.
