RACE LOCATIONS
5K ( Map): The 5Ks are located at Audubon Park near the Cancer Memorial on Perkins. There is plenty of parking on the grass north of the Botanic Gardens off Cherry Rd. You may also park in the field located at the northeast corner of Audubon Park (intersection of Southern and Perkins extended). Please look to the volunteers in the Hi Viz vests to assist you. Please do not park on the grass at Theatre Memphis. USATF-Certified Course TN19001MS
5 Miler ( Map): The 5 Milers are located at WJ Freeman Park in Bartlett (closest major intersection is Bartlett Blvd. & Stage Rd.) with the Start Line on Bartlett Blvd. The course winds through the nearby Bartlett neighborhoods and finishes within the Park. There is parking within the Park if you arrive early enough; however, runners also park along the side streets. Please be cognizant of the fact that we are VISITORS in these neighborhoods and at such an early hour, so be respectful of the neighborhoods and the people who call the area home.

10K ( Map): The 10Ks are located at beautiful Shelby Farms Park, which is centrally located at the intersection of Farm Rd. & Walnut Grove Rd. The Start and Finish Lines are located near the horse stables at gate 10 off of Mullins Station Road. Parking is ample, but please do not park in the horse stables parking lot. Parking will be in the grassy area inside gate 10 which provides plenty of parking close to the start and finish lines. USA Track & Field #TN14076MS
10 Miler AKA THE BEAST ( Map): Arguably everyone's favorite races are located at Shelby Forest State Park in northern Shelby County. The temperatures begin to drop, the leaves start to change and you get to run in the majestic Forest through it all. Allow yourself at least one hour and 15 minutes drive time as it takes that extra 15 minutes once you get near the park, to drive to shelter six, find parking, and make it to the start line on time. Carpooling is strongly recommended for runners and volunteers. USA Track & Field #TN11047MS
Half Marathon: (Map) Great NEW Downtown Memphis course that will take you across the Mississippi River's longest public pedestrian bridge. The start will be on Channel 3 Drive near Martyr's Park. Please allow at least 10 minutes for parking. Please note that the BRX Half/1st Half Marathon of the RRS is on a SATURDAY (11/6) and not a Sunday like the other races in the series. Also be aware of the fact that the last race of the series (11/21) is on a Sunday and also will follow the same downtown course as the BRX Half.
