Forest Half Marathon and 7 Miler

Forest 1/2 Marathon and 7 Miler - December 12, 2026

The Forest 7 Miler and Half Marathon take place on the Wolf River Trails in Memphis, TN. The event is organized by Mamba Trail Runners and follows trail sections used for the Mamba 100, with the Half Marathon using the Mamba 100 route minus a shortened section to reach 13.1 miles.

Runners will encounter smooth, flowing singletrack through a winter forest on mostly flat, fast, and highly runnable trails. The event includes generous cutoff times and fully stocked aid stations positioned along the courses. Specific aid station locations listed are around mile 3.5 for the 7 Miler and an additional aid station around mile 8.5 for the Half Marathon. The Start/Finish area will offer hot and cold food, water, sports drink, music, and post-race refreshments. All participants receive a custom Forest finisher medal.

This is a cupless race; participants should bring a handheld bottle, hydration vest, or other method to carry water. Course navigation relies on orange ground flags and course markings, with runners instructed to keep flags on their right side. There are two short sections with two-way running near the Bridge Aid Station and the Wolf River Bridge on the Half Marathon course. Race bibs should be worn on the front for event photography.
