- Please do not congregate at the finish line, there is plenty of room to wait for friends and family as well as cheer them on in that great big open parking lot.

- If you’ve tested positive and are or have recovered from Covid-19, been exposed to it, have been medically quarantined in the last 14 days, feel feverish or have a current fever. I am going to respectfully ask you to not participate or visit with us race morning.

Thank you for being vigilant about each other’s welfare and safety while we shine a spotlight on an important cause and enjoy a beautiful Memphis day. I’m certain together this can be a safe and fun-filled event that is productive for Serenity Recovery Center.

We are thankful we are able to run together in 2024. See you at packet pick-up!
