In Nepal's folklore, Yeti is an "abominable Snowman", who looks like an ape, is taller than an average human, and is believed to live in the Himalayas, Siberia, Central and East Asia. Yeti, during pre-19th century, has been believed to be a "Glacier Being" who was worshipped by the indigenous communities. However, in MEMPHIS, he is a cute big fellar that we can't wait to see this January 9th, 2027 to playfully run from him, take pictures with him, high-five him, and have a chilly party with him!

What's better than running by yourself? Running with a bunch of crazy fun people, that's what! Spend your Saturday morning running or walking along the beautiful Tennessee River, with a bunch of the funnest runners you've ever met. Please read ALL information before signing up so you know what you're getting yourself into! This is NOT a typical race! What started out as a casual group run with paper plate medals has turned into a perennial event that has been going on for more than a decade! In 2027, you will also have the option of signing up for the Freeze + Burn Your Half Off Combo (and earn extra swag* for doing both) OR all FOUR races in the Awesomesauce Riverpark Race Series to earn EVEN MORE extra swag* for doing all four! Pay close attention when you are registering, so you know exactly what you are registering for! The course is mostly flat, some small inclines/declines, on a paved path that meanders by the Tennessee River, behind the campus of Chattanooga State to the Chickamauga Dam, with restrooms with toilets that flush. Yep, you read that right, toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap in heated buildings. Is this a runner's dream or what? You will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times throughout the race. This means you're welcome to leave a drop bag to access your own personal goodies and you can shed layers as you warm up. This is also a good place to reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, and eat and drink to your heart's content! This means you're never alone, everyone can cheer each other on, and it's much more about camaraderie than competition. All races are super low-key and non-competitive; we'd prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else. Our races are more like large group runs than typical road races. If you want a competitive, mainstream race, there are tons to choose from. That's just not who we are. If you are a slower runner, a walker, a first-timer, or someone who is intimidated by regular races, we have a welcoming atmosphere focused on having fun and reaching your goals. You'll have a hard time finding a more supportive atmosphere than at an Awesomesauce Events race! There is a time limit of five hours for all distances. Your registration fee includes: - entry into the race distance of your choosing - online results - race swag will be a winter - or summer - hat, along with our usual "bonus swag" - As you may have heard, our medal company has closed. We're going back to the oversized coffee mug medal, since that's what y'all said you wanted us to keep around! - The most epic aid station setup you've ever seen including Gatorade, water, Gu, fruit, candy, cookies, chips, pickles and pickle juice, and tons of other goodies. Packet pickup is from 8am - 9am on Saturday ONLY. There is no Friday packet pickup. As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. Please don't ask, it makes our race director cry when she has to say no. We spend a lot of time and money preparing for every runner, and the money spent on you, in many cases, cannot be recouped by us. The races will go on rain, snow, or shine, unless the park service prohibits us from having a race. We have run in sub-freezing temperatures and temperatures in the 90s, so don't expect a cancellation for extreme temps! Awesomesauce Events produces low-key, laid-back running events that are focused more about camaraderie instead of competition. Our courses are not certified and not Boston qualifiers, but they are measured accurately and are USATF sanctioned. You won't find mid-race splits or mile markers or bands on every corner or an army of volunteers with their arms outstretched holding drinks just for you. There are plenty of races that are more serious, and we choose to run for fun. We do time our races and the results are posted online, but you will not be timed to the millisecond by chip timing equipment. If these things are important to you, we welcome you to search out other race companies. Our races are more like having a picnic with your friends with some running or walking thrown in for fun. We welcome fun-loving, laid-back, family atmosphere type people who are more worried about having a good time over running absolutely as fast as they can. As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. Prices are subject to change. The races will go on rain or shine. (We reserve the right to cancel, delay, or pause mid-race if there are dangerous weather conditions, including lightning or high winds.) *ANY participant completing both Freeze and Burn Your Half Off in 2027 and/or the full Riverpark series will earn additional swag, even if they are registered for each race separately. But we recommend registering for all of them at the same time, for the very best pricing!

Award Ceremony for the 2027 Winter Off-Road Series: TBA Kick off the new year on the trails! The MRTC Frank Horton Memorial Winter Off-Road Series features four races on some of the Memphis area's best courses. Each race brings a new challenge, unpredictable winter weather, and plenty of trail-running fun. We are looking for a new 3K option because Overton Park informed us that we can no longer host the 3K there. We hope to announce something within the next month. There will be no onsite race day registration. You can register on race day but you will need to do that on your own device. Packet & Shirt Pick-up- TBA We will also have race day pickup available. Like us on Facebook to keep up with any updates! THE 2027 RACE DATES (Start time for each distance will be 2pm) 3K - Jan 10 - TBA 5K - Jan 24 - W. C. Johnson Park - Collierville 8K - Feb 7 - Nesbit Park, Bartlett (aka Stanky Creek) 10K - Feb 21 - Shelby Farms REGISTRATION FEES Register for the series or any of the single races! Remember all registration fees increase $10 on/after the first race of the series. Fees for individual races - members and non-members $22.20 ($2.20 Fee included) REGISTRATION If you register by December 21st, you'll be sent your chip and bib in the mail before the first race. Be sure to watch our website OR like us on Facebook for registration announcements. We will be mailing out packets in the first week of January. We WILL NOT have our laptops set up for onsite registration this year as we normally do. The online registration site will remain open, so please register online before leaving your house or you can register on your own personal device at the race. All participants of the full series will receive a long sleeve t-shirt. Single race day registrants will not get a shirt. AWARDS Results will be posted via email and posted online and the awards will be distributed once the full series is complete. A points system will be used for both Overall and Age Group awards for the 4-race series. There are no awards for individual races. To be eligible for an award you must run at least 3 of the 4 races. Those runners who complete all 4 races will receive an extra point. Age groups are calculated off the age at the last race of the series. The awards go 3-deep in Overall Open, 3-deep in Masters, 1-deep in Grand Masters, 1-deep in Senior Master and 3-deep in age groups. Fast runners can miss a race and still (possibly) qualify for an award, depending on the competition. Anyone found sending a substitute to run for them will be completely disqualified from the series. Ties will be broken based on the best performance in the longest race. All decisions made by MRTC will be final. The awards ceremony for the 2027 Winter-Off Road Series will take place a week or two after the last race.

The 6th annual Ashland City Half-Marathon will take place on Saturday March 7th, 2026 in Ashland City (20 minutes west of Nashville). The pancake flat, USATF-certfied course will go from Riverbluff Park and then take you on the beautiful Bicentennial Greenway, returning you alongside the Cumberland River on Chapmansboro Road. This is a loop many of the faster runners in the Nashville area have been using for time trials and tempo runs and is about as flat as you can get without doing a boring out and back race.

The Joey Run was created in memory of Joey Gootee, a beloved son, brother, family member, and friend whose life was lost to an overdose more than 10 years ago. Joey’s death forever changed our family. Addiction takes so much. It takes lives, steals time, breaks hearts, and leaves families carrying a loss that never completely goes away. After experiencing that pain firsthand, we knew we wanted to do something that could help keep another individual and another family from experiencing the same thing. That is why the Joey Run exists. Each year, we come together not only to remember Joey, but to shine a light into the darkness that so often surrounds addiction. Addiction can carry shame, silence, and stigma, but we believe there is hope. Recovery is possible, lives can be changed, and no one should have to walk that road alone. Proceeds from the Joey Run support addiction recovery efforts, helping provide hope, resources, and opportunities for individuals working toward a life of recovery. But the Joey Run is about more than raising money. It’s about bringing our community together. It’s about remembering those we’ve lost, celebrating those who are fighting and those who are living in recovery, supporting the families who love them, and reminding people that there is always hope. Whether you run, walk, volunteer, sponsor, or simply come out to support the event, you are helping us turn Joey’s story into something that can make a difference for someone else. Addiction has taken enough. Together, we can shine a light, offer hope, and help change the next family’s story. Join us for the Joey Run and help us run for recovery, run for hope, and run in memory of Joey.

The Not Just A Mom Race is more than a run—it's a celebration of strength, resilience, and the incredible journey of motherhood and womanhood. Whether you're a mother, running in honor of a mother, supporting postpartum awareness, or simply showing up for yourself, this event is for you. Too often, women lose themselves in the titles they carry. Mom. Wife. Caregiver. Provider. Supporter. This race is a reminder that while those roles are important, they do not define the entirety of who you are. You are strong. You are capable. You are worthy of taking up space. You are more than a title. Join us on Saturday, March 20, 2027, as we come together to move with purpose, celebrate one another, and support postpartum awareness.

Most importantly, come celebrate the incredible strength that exists within you. Hosted by IronMomma Events Built by a mom. For every woman chasing more.

Chase the Sun, Crushing your Goals! 🏃‍♀️💨 Welcome to the 2027 Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1! There is no better way to start your day than stepping up to the starting line just as the world wakes up. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave - so it never feels crowded, and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure.
