Mamba Trail Runners

We are excited to once again support the Big Buffalo 50 with Mamba Trail Runner relay teams. If you are interested in running on a MTR team, then create your own team or let us know and we can create a team for you. MTR teams will be colors so MTR-black, MTR-red, etc. Each team member will receive a FREE MTR running singlet on the color team you are on. Teams can be all Male, all Female, or Co-ed with up to 5 runners per team.

We highly encourage all our Mamba out of town runners to join us for a fun day of music, food, racing, and a good time. We will set up a 10x30’ tent for your chair, personal aid bag, food, drinks, and more. It’s the perfect race before your big Viper race, which is 2 weeks after. It’s also a preview of some of the Viper course.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. We would love to have as many teams as we can to support this wonderful cause. Everyone of all paces are welcomed.

is excited to work with our friends at for this wonderful event.

Race date is Saturday, March 22nd at Shelby Farms Park, Memphis, TN. Each team runs a 50k so if you have 5 runners, then each team member runs a 10k. If your team has 4 runners, then one runner must run 2 loops. 1 loop = a 10k.

Our MambaXT program starts back up tomorrow (Monday, Jan. 6th). This is a monthly strength training program geared towards runners or anyone looking to improve strength in all areas. Most of these exercises can be done at home with bodyweight, light dumbbell weights and/or bands. Several weekly exercises target the hip / glute / core areas, foam rolling, stretching, and balancing.

We use an app workout program so all your exercises are right on your phone in a calendar view. There is no commitment or no sign-up fee. We have 3 payment options, monthly, 6-months, or 1 year membership. 1 month is $30, 6 months is $25/month, 1 year is $20/month. We averaged around 25 clients every month last year and they’ll tell you that if you stick to the program, then you’ll become a much stronger runner. We also have a private FB group chat for accountability.
If you have any questions, please reach out. The program is led by me, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer. Sign up below on our website.

Maybe a bit different medal or buckle than what you’ve gotten in the past, but Mamba races are different. Below is the Buckle and Medal for Moccasin 24. Medals on the right are “as is”.

100 milers and up- buckle will say 100 miles, sub 24 on it.

52 miles and up - buckle will say 52+ miles on it.

This will be a shiny, blinging, and a popping medal/buckle.

You probably won’t see Santa Snake on the trails but if it stays warm then you may. 🐍

We have almost 80 in the run and would love to have you. Signup on Ultrasignup.

We will make another video of this race like we did for Mamba.
