Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) is excited to host its 2nd Annual MEM Runway 5K on September 19.

Participants will have a chance to run on one of MEM’s runways and get a close-up view of aircraft landing and taking off. The uniqueness of this event allows runners to experience the airport grounds, and rare views of an airport that served nearly 5 million passengers in 2024 and ranks among one of the busiest cargo airports in world.

Please Note: There will be NO day-of-event registrations, and NO area for spectators. Only those registered will be allowed admittance for security reasons.

All attendees (3 and older) of the event, including those who do not plan to run or walk the 5K course, are required to register for the event.

Registration closes September 13th at midnight. Race participants will receive a T-shirt and a special finisher medal.

Children 2 and under can enter without registration if accompanied by a registered guest.

Proceeds from the race will support the Memphis International Airport Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, who focuses on civic engagement, education, sustainability efforts, health, and community-supporting initiatives.

Over the years, the foundation has awarded over $300,000 in academic scholarships, provided unique educational and career development opportunities, provided essential items to underserved communities, and supported a wide range of impactful initiatives.

You must register as a runner to participate. Children 14 and under must be accompanied by a registered adult.

    Discover the Greenway 5K+, returning this year with a 3.5-mile course that brings our mission to life with every step. This is not a race tucked beside nature. This is a race through it.

    The entire course unfolds along the Wolf River Greenway, placing you in the landscapes the Wolf River Conservancy works to protect every day. You will run or walk beneath a living canopy, alongside restored habitats, and through one of Memphis’s most vital natural corridors. This is conservation you can see, feel, and move through in real time.

    The Discover the Greenway 5K+ is designed for all ages and paces. It's about being together outdoors, enjoying the trail, and sharing an experience that feels good and does good. Every participant plays a role in protecting the river, the land, and the connected neighborhoods that make the Greenway such a special place.

    Come as you are. Move at your own pace. Experience the mission firsthand and discover the Wonder of the Wolf.

    The Top Fundraiser and Top Fundraising Team will each earn a FREE paddle trip on the Wolf!

Rylee’s parents, Jason and Jessica Vinson, established the RIBS soccer tournament in 2010 and Rylee's Run 5K in 2012 to help raise money for the hospital that has meant so much to them over the last several years - the Le Bonheur Children's Hospital Neuroscience Institute and NICU.
