Get ready to embrace the spirit of challenge and community at the Cinco De Mayo Run 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS, taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in the vibrant city of Memphis, Tennessee. This inspiring event, featuring a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, 5K, and a Family 1M Fun Run, is designed to celebrate resilience and culture under the banner of "Run Against All Odds."

The course, set along Memphis's scenic Riverwalk, promises a generally flat and enjoyable experience with picturesque views, making it suitable for all paces and ages.

Each registrant receives a comprehensive swag bag, including a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, and a commemorative medal, with the added convenience of direct shipping for your swag.

What truly sets the Cinco De Mayo Run apart is its dedication to community and overcoming obstacles, reflecting the essence of the holiday itself. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with local running clubs, extending the supportive environment beyond race day. Whether you're aiming for a new personal best in the half marathon or enjoying a leisurely mile with family, this event provides a memorable and encouraging experience.
