Creative Strategies Walk-Run
The Creative Strategies Walk-Run is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Mayor Joyce Ferguson Civic Center in West Memphis, Arkansas (212 West Polk Ave, 72301). The event features a 5K run and walk and includes a participant T-shirt with the listed registration fee of $33.75.
The event focuses on prostate cancer awareness. The description notes that prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and can often be treated successfully. It explains that prostate cancer begins when prostate cells grow out of control, that the prostate is a gland found only in males, and that some research suggests the disease can begin as a pre-cancerous condition. The material emphasizes the importance of yearly examinations and states that Creative Strategies aims to raise awareness of the effects of this cancer in Crittenden County.
Creative Strategies began in May 2008 and describes its mission as developing projects and programs to improve educational, economic, social, health, and housing conditions in low to moderate income neighborhoods. The organization also identifies advocacy as part of its work to ensure public policy considers the needs of those unable to assist themselves.
Event details include awards for 1st place male and female overall and the top three male and female finishers in these age groups: 13 and under, 14 to 18, 19 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and over. Fundraising progress shows $664.08 raised toward a $5,000 goal, listed as 13 percent, with 20 participants recorded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
