Thank you for participating in our inaugural 5K for Kids. Please keep May 7, 2011 on your calendar for the race next year!! 

What an exciting inaugural event we held on May 8th! Thank you to all that participated in the Junior League of Memphis 5K for Kids. With over 650 participants, much needed attention was shed on the plague of childhood obesity in our city.

Pre-race announcements were made by the Honorable Mayor A.C. Wharton and JLM president Chey Widdop. Our emcees from WREG included Richard Ransom, along with JLM provisionals Keli Rabon and Candance McCowan. Post-race activities were fabulous and filled with family fun! The moon bounces, the Kids in the Kitchen Food Pyramid and food demonstrations, and kiddie fun run were all ways that the JLM is establishing the importance of physical activity and a healthy diet for the children of Memphis! Live music from the Kathryn Stallins Band helped us celebrate our success.
