Moccasin 24 Hour Run
Get ready to run as many miles as you'd like in the Moccasin 24 hour run. The course will be a 4 mile loop on the Wolf River Trails in Memphis, TN. Once we start the run, the clock will tick down from 24 hours all the way to zero, which will end the run. You are welcome to run as many miles as you can, as fast or slow as you want, and at whatever pace or time you want. We will have a large canopy tent with walls up at the Start/Finish line where we will all gather under and hang out. This is where you'll rest before you run again. You are welcome to bring your own canopy tent and personal aid station as well. You can start at any time during the 24-hour window so if you don't make it for the start of the race, then you can still show up 3 hours later and jump in the run. What better way to end the year by running some big miles. Can you run 100 miles under 24 hours? Can you run 52 miles and earn a buckle? Come see the trails alive at night with Christmas lights and decorations. (all lights are battery operated so there is only so much we can do). Come hang out and sit by our bonfire, eat smores, and tell Christmas stories all night.
24 hour run starts at Noon.
Drop Bag
You can keep your personal drop bag at the start/finish line and access it every 4 miles. Please plan accordingly with the weather and have the appropriate clothing necessary. Please pack any special Nutrition or Hydration needs to complete your run.
