This half marathon is the only of its kind to allow racers to cross the mighty Mississippi along its longest pedestrian bridge, Big River Crossing. You'll also get to trek through the Big River Trail, a paved path through the Arkansas floodplains with amazing riverside views. The 5K race goes through Downtown Memphis, with awe-inspiring views of Tom Lee Park and Big River Crossing. All race proceeds will benefit Peer Power Foundation, a Memphis-based nonprofit that recruits and trains high-performing high school and college students to tutor and mentor their peers.
