The Best Races - Midtown

The Lunar New Year Run MEMPHIS, held in Midtown at Overton Park, offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, plus a virtual option and a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. The atmosphere blends culture, fitness, and community as runners celebrate the Year of the Horse with a smaller, private-group vibe and wave-based starts. Timing is optional and no chips are used.

Swag is shipped to registrants (shirt, finisher towel or giveaway, medal), with online results and certificates, plus an invitation to join local running clubs. Proceeds support charity initiatives through the event’s community partnerships. Overton Park provides a scenic backdrop for the course.
