Registration
Is there a group discount?
Yes! Businesses, churches, other organizations, and even a group of friends can save $7 per person.
Can I buy a registration for a friend?
Yes! We encourage it. On the registration form, choose “Register for someone else”
Can I sponsor a child or adult to participate?

Other FAQs
How can other cities host a race?
Unite Memphis is intended to be a gift to cities across America. We are happy to speak to organizations that would be interested in helping bring a race to their city. Each city’s own non-profits would be the recipient of race profits. Email kconlee@unitememphis.com for more information.
How will the funds raised be used?
The designated 3-4 city partners in each city will share the race profits between them. It is Unite Memphis’s desire to raise awareness of the needs, bring healing, honor, and hope to each city, and fund the non-profits that are daily working to overcome the problems created by generations of racism.
