About the race
Midtown Memphis hosts The Best Races events at Overton Park on Poplar Avenue, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances (13.1). The New Year New Me Run and Sunrise Marathon emphasize a small, private-group atmosphere with a warm, stress-free setting and inclusive pacing for all ages. Course details aren’t published, but the events feature wave-based starts with no timing chips and timing available only if you choose.
Participants receive a swag bag including a T-shirt, medal, and finisher towel or giveaway, with shirts mailed to registrants. Virtual options, online results, local run-club invites, and charitable ties round out the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
