5k Fun Run Run

This will be our fourth year hosting the Stronger Than a Stroke Fun Run. In 2023, I had a stroke. I was in the hospital for 4 days and then in rehab for 9 days. I put together this fun run to give back to the Baptist Desoto Rehab Center who not only helped me physically get through this journey but were there to support me mentally and emotionally. Please help us support this rehab center so that they can continue to help others like me in our community.

    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!
