Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS
This event takes place at the Riverwalk in Memphis, Tennessee on September 12, 2026. It is organized as a community run to raise awareness and support for mental health, and fundraising is optional. The event offers in-person and virtual participation options and maintains a cap per wave to keep group sizes smaller.
Participants may choose from these distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- 13.1 mile half marathon
- Family 1 mile
- Virtual run option
Timing is optional. Runners may track time with personal apps and submit results for posting, or ask coordinators to help track times. The event does not use timing chips. Swag is shipped to the US mailing address provided at registration; race bibs are given on race day. Typical swag items include a running shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack. A technical running shirt upgrade is available for an additional fee.
Waves are filled on a first come, first serve basis and the organizer limits entries per wave. Final race details and course maps are emailed to participants before the event. The organizers list several sponsors and operate optional charity initiatives that donate per mile logged after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
