🏆 Congratulations to all of our Cape 5K and 10K award winners!

Yesterday’s race was the first event in the Cobra Den Trail Series, and the competition was strong from the front of the pack all the way through the age group divisions. We had some outstanding performances on a warm and muddy morning at Shelby Farms Park.

A special congratulations to our Top 3 Overall Male and Female finishers in both the 5K and 10K, including Janis Hepburn, who set a new female Cape 5K course record! 🔥

The runners listed below earned their way onto the awards sheet, and we are proud to recognize their accomplishments. Thank you to everyone who came out, raced hard, supported fellow runners, and helped make the Cape 5K/10K a fantastic start to the Cobra Den Trail Series.

If your name appears on the award winner sheet and you were unable to stay for the awards ceremony, your award will be available for pickup at Samar 4 & 8 Miler packet pickup.

Next up: the Samar 4 & 8 Miler on July 18th — one of the fastest dirt trail races in the Southeast.

One of our favorite things about being a sponsor is getting to meet runners and share our passion for the trails. At the Discover the Greenway 5K, we had a great time talking about our races, introducing people to Mamba Trail Runners, and connecting with members of the local running community.
We’re proud to support Shelby Farms Park and the Wolf River Conservancy, and we’re thankful for opportunities to help grow our local running community while building relationships with runners from all across the country.

Looking for a fun way to spend your Saturday morning outdoors?

Join us Saturday, June 13th at 7:00 AM for the Cape 5K / 10K on the beautiful Tour de Wolf Trails inside Shelby Farms Park. With more than 200 runners expected, it will be the largest trail race in the Memphis area this summer.

The Cape is a great introduction to trail running if you’ve never tried it before, but it’s also fast enough for experienced trail runners who want to push the pace. You’ll get winding singletrack trails, a fun atmosphere, and a course that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

After the race, stick around and enjoy cold drinks, snacks, music, awards, and time with fellow runners.

✔ Finisher medal for all runners
✔ Top 3 overall male and female awards
✔ Top 3 age group awards (male and female)
✔ Cooling towels at the finish
✔ Ice-cold sodas and plenty of snacks

We still have a few spots available, but registration is filling quickly.

Come see what the Cobra Den Trail Series is all about. We’d love to have you on the starting line Saturday morning

We already have 160 runners registered, which is the same number of runners we had in the entire race last year. With many runners traditionally signing up during the final two weeks, this is shaping up to be the largest Cape 5K/10K we’ve ever hosted.

🏆 Top 3 Overall Male & Female Awards
🏆 Age Group Awards
🏅 Finisher Medal for Every Participant
❄️ Cooling Towel for Every Finisher

If you can’t make the entire Cobra Den Trail Series, come join us for this one race and experience some of the best trail running in Memphis.

T-shirts have already been ordered, so we cannot guarantee a 2026 event shirt for recent sign-ups. However, while supplies last, runners who do not receive a 2026 shirt will receive one of our race shirts from a previous year.

Only 40 spots remain. Once these spots are gone, registration will close.
