Samar 8 Miler

The Samar 4 and 8 Miler is a trail running event held in Memphis, Tennessee, on the scenic Wolf River Trails, known for their flat, runnable single-track paths. The race offers two distances—4 and 8 miles—catering to both beginner and experienced runners, with generous cutoff times. The course is part of the larger Shelby Farms Park, a vast urban park featuring over 40 miles of trails and natural attractions.

Parking is limited near the start but additional grassy parking is available nearby. Amenities include packet pickup, port-a-potties, and nearby RV camping with full hookups. The event emphasizes safety due to Memphis’s hot, humid summer weather and potential storms. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
