Night Serpent 5k

Eads, TN
When the sun goes down, the trail comes alive. Welcome to the Night Serpent 5K, a nighttime trail race unlike anything else on your race calendar. Held on private property in Eads, TN, runners will take on a dark, wooded trail filled with twists, turns, shadows—and a few things waiting for you along the way. This isn’t just a 5K in the dark. It’s a full haunted trail-running experience. 6:00 PM — The Serpent Sleeps 5k Our earlier race offers the excitement of the Night Serpent with a less intense, haunted experience. Runners 10 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our haunted creatures will be positioned throughout the course, but they'll remain still as runners pass. 8:00 PM — The Serpent Awakens 5k When darkness takes over, so do the trails. The 8:00 PM race is reserved for ages 16+ and delivers the full Night Serpent experience. Our haunted creatures won't just be hiding in the woods anymore—they'll come alive. Expect darkness. Expect surprises. Expect your heart rate to climb for reasons that have nothing to do with your pace. No haunted creature will intentionally touch a runner, but we can't promise they won't make you run a little faster. Bring a headlamp, bring your courage, and come experience 3.1 miles after dark. Two races. One haunted trail. One unforgettable night. NIGHT SERPENT 5K October 30, 2026 | Eads, Tennessee Space will be limited for both races.

Memphis, TN
Celebrate this Veterans Day with our annual Freedom Run! 🏃‍♂️💨 Kick off your weekend with purpose and pride by joining our 5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon. Whether you're running for a personal best or walking with friends and family, let's move together in deep gratitude for the brave Veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom. 🎖️🗽 You can raise funds for a charity of choice (Optional). 100% of the net funds raised will go towards your cause of choice. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave - so it never feels crowded, and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure. What You Get (Swag Bag): - Running T-shirt (shipped to your address - US only) - Finisher's medal - Virtual Training Run (emailed to you a month before your run) - Online results & certificate of completion - Invitation to join a local running club - NEW: Upgrade to a lightweight, moisture-wicking technical shirt for just $5 more Packet Pickup?
