Moccasin Ultra Fest - 36 Hours
Moccasin Ultra Fest is a 36 hour timed trail run held on a fast, flat 4 mile loop along the Wolf River Trails in Memphis, TN. The event takes place December 31 to January 1 and moves from the final miles of one year into the first miles of the next.
The format uses a continuous 36 hour clock. Participants may run as many loops as they wish, take breaks, leave and return later, and set up a personal area with a 10x10 canopy. Each loop returns to the Start/Finish area where runners record results and pass a central aid area.
Distances
- 4 mile loop
- 52 miles - 13 loops
- 100 miles - 25 loops
Awards include a finisher medal for one loop, a 52 plus mile buckle for 13 loops, a 100 mile buckle for 25 loops, and an exclusive sub 24 hour 100 mile buckle. Cash prizes of $500 are listed for the top male and top female by distance. Every runner will receive a Bella Canvas fleece style hoodie.
A single fully manned help yourself aid station will be at the Start/Finish with food, soups, coffee, heaters, chairs, and blankets. Runners must supply any special dietary nutrition or hydration. Professional photography will be taken throughout and photos will be free to download.
Rules state no pacers, trekking poles are allowed, no littering, stay on the marked course, and crew behavior is the runner's responsibility. Receiving IV fluids, oxygen, or sustaining a serious injury ends a runner's race. Official mileage is the last completed loop recorded when the 36 hour limit ends.
Registration is non refundable and non transferable. Entries may be deferred for race credit: 50 percent if deferred at least 60 days prior, 25 percent if deferred at least 30 days prior, and no race credit after December 24, 2026. Registration closes December 29. Late December weather in Memphis is variable; warm clothing and layers are recommended. The trailhead is near Germantown Parkway with hotels, restaurants, and stores within a short drive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
