General Information
Chasing Memphis - A Legacy Run is a community-focused athletic event held in the Bronx, New York. The event serves as a commemorative run to honor the life of Memphis Peralta, an academically gifted scholar who attended top schools in New York City. The gathering focuses on carrying forward his legacy of curiosity, determination, and excellence through physical activity and community engagement.
The event features two distinct distances:
- 5K Run
- 1 Mile Kids/Family Fun Walk
The course is located at 6087C Broadway. Participants include runners and walkers who contribute to a specific cause through their participation. Each entry fee supports the Memphis Legacy Scholarship. This initiative provides financial aid to academically talented boys from underserved and low-income communities within New York City. The funds are directed toward helping these students access educational opportunities and reach their academic potential, mirroring the scholarships and support systems that previously aided Memphis Peralta in his own education.
Registration for the event follows a specific timeline, with fees set at different rates for the child friendly walk and the longer run. The event emphasizes purpose and memory, bringing together community members to support future generations of scholars through local sport.
