Forest 1/2 Marathon and 7 Miler
The Forest 1/2 Marathon and 7 Miler is a trail race on the Wolf River Trails in Memphis, TN, organized by Mamba Trail Runners. The course uses smooth, flowing singletrack through a winter forest and is described as mostly flat, fast, and highly runnable in the heart of Memphis.
The event follows sections of the Mamba 100 course. The Half Marathon follows the Mamba 100 route with a shortened section removed to create the 13.1 mile distance. The 7 Miler highlights several scenic sections of the same trail system.
This is a cupless race, so participants must carry their own hydration. Runners should follow orange ground flags and course markings, keeping flags on the right side except in two short sections where traffic flows both directions near the Bridge Aid Station and near the Wolf River Bridge on the Half Marathon course.
Aid stations are fully stocked and located around Mile 3.5 for the 7 Miler and an additional station around Mile 8.5 for Half Marathon runners. The Start and Finish Line Aid Station will offer hot and cold food, water, sports drink, music, and post race refreshments. All finishers receive a custom Forest finisher medal.
