About the race
Midtown Memphis hosts two The Best Races events at Overton Park (Poplar Avenue): MLK Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 and Run for Donuts 5K/10K/13.1. Both foster a community-focused atmosphere with a private-wave format that tends to sell out quickly and an option for virtual participation. Distances offered include 5K, 10K, and half-marathon, with course maps provided in advance.
Timing is optional and there are no timing chips. Swag features include a T-shirt shipped to registrants, a finisher medal, and a towel or giveaway, plus a digital training pack. The events emphasize charity partnerships and local running-club connections.
Ideal for individuals, families, and clubs in Midtown. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
