Stanky Creek Trail Race

This is a 50k/25k event and I have decided to bring this gem of a race back with a new vision. It's still going to pack a punch on the trails with potentially grueling heat that our mid-south summer weather brings, but we will have a new focus on this race. Starting this year, this event will be benefiting the Red Door Campaign at the Memphis Fire Museum. The museum needs your annual contribution to maintain the Memorial Wall, the exhibits, and other programs such as free educational tours for Shelby County Schools and preservation of timeline records for all Memphis Firefighters who have served our department. Although the Memphis Fire Department provides in-kind support such as the Fire Prevention Educators that are assigned to the museum’s fire safety program, the museum does not receive any on-going operating funds from the Fire Department, the City or Shelby County. This is my way of giving back to another amazing organization that this city has to offer.

This year the course will be run clockwise on the Blue and outer and inner white loop portion of the course. This measures out to be 8 miles each loop with approx. 500ft of elevation gain per loop. Terrain is gorgeous. Your going to be crossing over several short boardwalks and bridges and there are a couple of creek crossings. This course offers a little bit of everything. You will enjoy it.
