Sloth Run 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS

Lace up for a refreshingly unique running experience at the Sloth Run 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in the vibrant city of Memphis, TN. This event champions the motto "Slow is the new fast!", offering a wonderfully stress-free and supportive atmosphere where all paces and ages are celebrated, whether you choose to run or walk. Participants can tackle a 5K, 10K, or a Half-Marathon (13.1 miles), with a dedicated 1-mile Family Fun Run also available. Those unable to attend in person can still join the fun with a virtual run option, complete with a digital training pack.

The Sloth Run sets itself apart with its laid-back approach; forget the pressure of high-speed competition, as optional timing is offered, allowing runners to track their own progress or receive assistance from on-site coordinators. You'll begin your journey at the scenic Riverwalk in Memphis, and while specific course maps are emailed to participants closer to the date, expect a pleasant route designed for enjoyment. Typical race day conditions in mid-March offer comfortable highs around 64°F and lows around 44°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a leisurely pace.

Every registrant is treated to an exceptional swag bag, which includes a running t-shirt (shipped directly to your address, eliminating the need for packet pickup), a finisher's medal, and access to a digital training pack. An invitation to join local running clubs further extends the community spirit beyond race day. This smaller, private group run is known for its warm and supportive setting, ensuring that everyone crossing the finish line feels like a winner.
