Run for Mental Health 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS
Run for Mental Health is scheduled for November 14, 2026 at Riverwalk in Memphis, Tennessee. The event offers in-person distance options plus a virtual run that participants can complete at any time and location using a tracking device.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half-marathon (13.1 miles)
- Family 1 Mile Fun Run
- Virtual Run option
The event is organized as smaller, capped waves that fill on a first come, first served basis; a waitlist and the virtual option are available when waves sell out. Timing is optional and there are no timing chips; participants may track runs with apps such as Strava or RunKeeper and submit results for online posting, or request coordinator assistance for timekeeping.
Swag is shipped to the registrant's US mailing address rather than picked up on site. Packets include a running T-shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack. Online results and a certificate of completion are provided, and registrants receive an invitation to local running clubs. Technical running shirts are offered as a $5 upgrade. Late registrations are accepted but mailed shirts may arrive after the race.
Fundraising is optional. The organizers note that each mile logged after the race will prompt a $1 donation to one of their partner charities. Sponsors include GATORADE, Shop TheBestRaces, TheBestRaces Run Walk Club, KeepGoingRun, and sweet nothings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
