This is a sanctioned event of the Memphis Runners Track Club and will run under its supervision. All decisions of the MRTC are final. Timing and scoring will be conducted by Best Times, using ChronoTrack D-Tag disposable tags.

 

For the safety of all involved, NO roller blades, skates or dogs are allowed in the 5K race. Strollers and wheelchairs are always welcome.

The Racquet Club parking lot will be restricted to members and race sponsors only. Parking is also prohibited on Sanderlin Avenue, which will be closed to traffic in both directions from 6 to 8pm. Public parking should be available in the Clark Tower/White Station Tower lots behind the club, between Poplar Avenue and Sanderlin Avenue. Please do not park in the private establishments in Sanderlin Centre. Thank you.
