Memphis has the best public park in Shelby Farms!  We now have a Greenline that connects a large part of the city for bikers, runners, and walkers!  Last year, the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy started a 1/2 Marathon.  This year they worked with the Council for Responsible Sport to get their ReSport Certification!  Good job! 

For those of you that have been to a 5K, 10K, etc. race, you know how much trash these races can generate.  Here are some of the changes that they made to make their race more environmentally friendly!

• Solar powered race timing
• Use of Biodegradable water cups at water stations
• Composting food waste and utensils at the after party
• Online/paperless registration
• Virtual race bags

For those of you in the Shelby County area, come out and support the efforts make by the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy!

Happy running!
