Women Run Walk Memphis Program & Graduation 5K
Women Run Walk Memphis (WRWM) is an eight-week training program for female participants age 10 and older that concludes with a participants-only Graduation 5K in Cordova, Tennessee. The program combines weekly Monday evening training sessions held July through August with pacing-based group plans for Walkers, Beginning Runners, Intermediate Runners, and Advanced Runners. If a session is missed, participants can follow their group’s weekly plan to stay on track.
Registration is offered in tiered periods with fees listed for specific dates and closes when the program reaches capacity of 1,200 or at the posted deadline. Registration includes access to the WRWM Expo, weekly training sessions, a WRWM technical t-shirt or tank, and entry into the Graduation 5K.
An Expo is scheduled in June at Shelby Farms Park where participants can pick up program information, meet coaches and group leaders, speak with vendors, and learn about running shoes and apparel. The program covers training topics such as choosing an appropriate training plan, running form, nutrition and hydration, warm-up and cool-down routines, stretching techniques, selection of proper shoes and technical clothing, and measures to maximize performance and reduce injury. The Graduation 5K takes place at Hope Church, 8500 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova, TN. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
