The Horton Trail Race is a night run at the Shelby Farms Cross Country Course in Memphis, with a 2K Fun Run and a 5K trail race run under the lights. It is open to the public, uses fully unpaved trails, and keeps the focus on participation rather than prize money. The race honors Frank Horton, who founded the Memphis Marathon, the race that later grew into the St. Jude Marathon. It dates back to 1999 and sits inside a weekend of running events supporting Memphis Youth Athletics, with food trucks adding a casual family-and-friends feel around the racing.

The race benefits Team Memphis Rescue & Support, an all-breed rescue group dedicated to finding permanent homes for abandoned, neglected, and lost pets.

All finishers will receive medals, and custom awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners, masters and grandmasters winners, and the top three finishers in each age group.

Awards are given to the top male and female finishers, masters, grand masters, senior grand masters, and the top three in age groups from young children to 80-plus.

The Peer Power Big River Crossing Race is an annual run and walk in Memphis, utilizing the Big River Crossing over the Mississippi River as its central feature. The Memphis-based Peer Power Foundation hosts this event, bringing runners, walkers, and supporters together for a nonprofit race supporting youth education. This is the race's ninth year, and its purpose is to raise support for tutoring, mentoring, college preparation, and paid student-tutor programs. The route sends participants across the Mississippi on a bridge linking communities on either side of the river. Peer Power’s work gives the race its local weight: college students tutor and mentor high schoolers, University of Memphis students are trained and paid through Earn & Learn, ACT Prep participants raise scores by an average of 3.2 points, and Summer Bridge Camp helps students prepare for college. The field includes runners and walkers, so the day is as much about backing Memphis students as it is about finishing a race.

The main distances are 5K, 10K, and half marathon, with an untimed 1 Mile option for people who want a shorter, easier outing.

The 5K, 10K, and half marathon are chip-timed, with live results and awards, while the 1 Mile and Kid's Dash keep things untimed. Registrants get race swag such as a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal, with youth-sized gear for the Kid's Dash. Finish-line treats and free participant photos are part of the day, and a virtual option lets people run their own route while still earning the event swag.
