This inspiring event offers distances for every ability, including a 13.1-mile half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a 1-mile fun run, all designed to celebrate the everyday superheroes among us. The race kicks off from the scenic Riverwalk area in downtown Memphis at 7:30 AM CDT, with multiple wave times to ensure a relaxed and supportive start.

Forget the hassle of packet pickup; your running t-shirt, finisher's medal, and other swag are conveniently shipped directly to your address. Timing is optional, allowing participants to track their own progress via an app, or simply enjoy the run with support from event coordinators. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-timer, you'll find a welcoming community celebrating all paces and ages.
Beyond the physical challenge, this event is a heartfelt tribute to all heroes, from dedicated parents to frontline workers, and anyone making a difference.

For those unable to attend in person, a virtual run option is available, allowing everyone to participate in their own way and earn a finisher's medal.
