Lace up for an unforgettable trail experience at the Cape 5K and 10K, hitting the scenic Tour De Wolf Trails in Cordova, TN, on June 13, 2026. This event kicks off the exciting Cobra Den Trail Series, promising a summer of engaging races hosted by Mamba Trail Runners. Participants will navigate a course primarily composed of dirt and grassy singletrack, interspersed with some gravel roads, offering a mostly flat profile with a few gentle hills to keep things interesting. While the 5K boasts an approximate 175 ft elevation gain, the overall course is known for being runnable, with road shoes suitable if conditions are dry.

Starting and finishing at the Tour de Wolf Pavilion, both the 5K and 10K distances plunge runners into the sprawling beauty of Shelby Farms Park, a vast urban oasis home to diverse trails and even a buffalo herd. The 10K route offers a unique twist, potentially traversing a dog park area. Aid stations, critical for warmer weather, are strategically placed: the 5K features one water station at its halfway point, while 10K runners will pass it twice. Please note this is a cupless race, so runners are required to bring their own hydration vessels. Typical race day conditions in mid-June can see highs around 90F and lows around 68F, with about a 14% chance of precipitation, emphasizing the importance of the early 7:00 AM start time.

Beyond the race itself, runners can anticipate a vibrant atmosphere. All finishers will proudly receive a medal, and participants are awarded a Cobra Den Series T-shirt. With a reputation for well-marked courses and supportive volunteers at other events, Mamba Trail Runners ensures a quality, chip-timed experience for all, from seasoned trail enthusiasts to those new to off-road running.
