The Best Races - Midtown Memphis

Coffee Lovers Run 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS

The Coffee Lovers Run takes place at Riverwalk in Memphis on November 28, 2026. The event offers multiple distance options, including an in-person series of timed waves and a virtual entry option. The in-person format uses capped waves filled on a first-come, first-served basis; this is presented as a smaller, privately managed group run with coordinators on site for a limited time after the first wave.

Timing is optional and there are no timing chips; participants may self-record with running apps and submit results to be posted online, or ask coordinators for timekeeping assistance. Race bibs are provided on race day and there is no in-person packet pickup because participant swag is shipped to the US mailing address provided at registration. Shirts are mailed the week of the race; a technical running shirt is available as a paid upgrade.

Participants receive a swag bag that may include a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, online results, and a certificate of completion. Organizers offer an invitation to local running clubs and note that fundraising is optional; organizers donate one dollar per mile logged after the race to partner charities.
