Get ready to run the river

Runners, it’s time to lace up those shoes again for the Great American River Run. The race takes place on Saturday, May 26, and it’s still not too late to sign up.

Those who run the half marathon will get to enjoy an exciting course that starts and ends in downtown Memphis. Miles six through 10 take runners along the mighty Mississippi River and over two different bridges.

But the real reward comes for those who finish. After their run, participants can enjoy a post-race party with live music, beer and food. Each registrant also gets a race shirt.
