Join us on Saturday, July 11th as part of the world-class Ed Murphey Classic for an unforgettable 1-mile race right in the heart of downtown Memphis.

You’ll race through an electric course surrounded by iconic landmarks — FedExForum, historic Beale Street, The Orpheum, and more — all set against a high-energy, festival-like atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.

But it doesn’t stop at the finish line…

Stick around after your race for an incredible showcase of professional track & field right on Beale Street:
