Moccasin 24

Moccasin Ultra Fest

Moccasin Ultra Fest is a 36-hour timed trail running event on a fast, flat 4-mile loop at the Wolf River Refuge Trailhead in Memphis, TN. The event runs across New Year’s Eve into the following day and has a 36-hour time limit; official mileage equals the last completed loop recorded when the time limit ends.

Participants may run as many loops as they choose during the 36 hours, with the course returning to the central start/finish area each loop. The start/finish area includes a fully manned, help-yourself aid station offering food, soups, coffee, and warm amenities under a canopy with heaters, chairs, and blankets. Runners must provide any special dietary or hydration items they require.

Awards and recognition are based on distance completed. Examples include:

• 1 Loop (4 miles): Finisher medal
• 13 Loops (52 miles): 52+ mile buckle
• 25 Loops (100 miles): 100-mile buckle
• Sub-24 hour 100 miles: Sub-24 hour 100-mile buckle

Cash awards of $500 each are given to the top male and top female by miles run during the 36-hour period. Every entrant receives a Bella Canvas fleece style hoodie as race swag.

Race rules include no pacers, trekking poles allowed, staying on the marked course, no littering, no stashing supplies, and responsibility for crew behavior. Receiving IV fluids, oxygen, or sustaining a serious injury ends a participant’s race. Professional photography will be taken throughout and photos will be provided free to runners; bibs should be worn on the front for identification.

All registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable. Deferred entry credit is available on a sliding scale up to 60 days before the event, with no credit after December 24, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
