The Cancer Kickers Big Buffalo 50 : Shelby Farms Park, Memphis, TN : April 3, 2027
The event is an annual fundraising run held at Shelby Farms Park in Memphis, Tennessee. Multiple race options are offered on a looped course: the 50 mile route is eight laps, the 50K and the 50K relay are five laps, and the 10K is one lap.
Distances:
- 50 mile (8 laps)
- 50K (5 laps)
- 50K relay (5 laps)
- 10K (1 lap)
The race supports the Cancer Kickers Soccer Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in Memphis in 2016. The organization provides custom soccer kits for children with cancer; delivering one complete kit costs approximately $300. The event lists a fundraising goal of $50,000.
There are three aid stations on course providing water and Hammer Nutrition Heed electrolyte drink. Available foods and fuel include GU gels, Hammer gels, potato chips, PB&J sandwiches, oranges, bananas, Oreos, granola bars, Snickers, and gummies.
Relay logistics: team packets are issued for the entire team when the first team member picks up packets; only the team member running the first lap must be present at packet pickup and must wear the timing chip. The relay exchange is located just beyond the start/finish/split line. Teams with fewer than five runners will require some members to run multiple loops.
Crew and team tents may be set up near the finish area the day before the race. The 50 mile course closes 12 hours after the start, the 50K cutoff is 10 hours after the start, and the relay cutoff is 8 hours after the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
