Creative Strategies Walk-Run
The Creative Strategies Walk-Run is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026 at the Mayor Joyce Ferguson Civic Center on Polk Avenue in West Memphis, Arkansas. The civic center address is 212 West Polk Ave, West Memphis, AR 72301.
The event focuses on awareness of prostate cancer. The description notes that prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men and begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. The prostate is a gland found only in males. Some research suggests prostate cancer may begin as a pre-cancerous condition, and yearly examinations are described as important. Creative Strategies states the event is intended to help ensure that Crittenden County is aware of the effects of this cancer.
Creative Strategies is the organizing and sponsoring group. The organization began in May 2008 with a mission to develop projects and programs that improve educational, economic, social, health, and housing conditions within low to moderate income neighborhoods and to advocate for public policy that considers the needs of those unable to assist themselves.
The event offers a 5K Run and Walk. Registration fee for the 5K Run / Walk is listed as $33.75 and includes a T shirt. Awards include 1st place male and female overall and the top three male and female in each age group: 13 & Under, 14-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+. Fundraising figures show $118.37 raised toward a $5,000 goal, with nine participants recorded. A course map is provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
