A NAME CHANGE! The super Stanky Creek distance running event has changed names to the Nesbit Park Trails Classic. The Nesbit Park Trails Classic is set for September 15, 2019. A 10K has been added to the event. There is only one difference in the trail loop for the race entrants. The 50K/25K runners will run the blue trail loop as part of the course, and the marathon and half marathon runners will not run the blue trail loop to complete their race. Since the marathon/half marathon loop is 6.56 miles, the 10K race will run 95% of the marathon/half loop to complete the 10K (6.21 miles). The 50K and marathon will start at 7:00 AM, the 25K and half marathon races start at 7:30 AM, and the 10K will start at 7:45 AM. These races take place at Nesbit Park, commonly called Stanky Creek by the local Memphis area runners and cyclists, located at 5760 Yale Rd Bartlett, TN 38134.

Race Location/Info

The race takes place at Nesbit Park (ie. Stanky Creek) located at 5760 Yale Rd Bartlett, TN 38134.

CAUTION!!! Some GPS units want to send runners to the north side of Stanky Creek in the subdivision north of the park when using 5760 Yale Road. If your GPS unit doesn’t tell you to finish your route on Yale Road then you need to manually reroute yourself. The park parking lot is located on Yale Road about a half mile west from the Yale Road/Bartlett BLVD intersection.

Course Info

Above is map for the 50K/25K course loop. The marathon/half marathon course map is in the below Course Map/Map Link section. The 10K starts on the white trail near the finish line. 10K runners do 95% of the loop and finish at the finish line on the east side of the parking lot with all the other runners.

This is a trail race – two counterclockwise loops of superb single track trail to complete the 25k and marathon, and four counterclockwise loops of trail to complete the 50K and marathon. There is only one difference in the trail loop for the race entrants. The 50K/25K runners will run the blue trail loop as part of the course, and the marathon and half marathon runners will not run the blue trail loop to complete their race. The trail is almost completely shaded with many twists and turns. There are few rocks on the trail, but there are plenty of roots on the very run-able trail. The race starts at the west side of the parking lot. Runners head east through the parking lot for about 400 feet before entering the trail to follow the well marked course. The finish line is on the east side of the parking lot. The course will be well marked with arrow signs, ribbons and flour markings.

Thanks to Stanky Creek Cycling (stankycreek.com) and the Mid-South Trails Association (midsouthtrails.com) for all their outstanding work to make the Nesbit Park trails fun to cycle and run! Trail maintenance is fun and is a part of every trail’s life. I encourage everyone to conduct trail maintenance whenever possible.
