We're Looking for a Few Good Men!

Not interested in running but want to help? Register as Men for the Cure! The Men provide the manpower to help the event run smoothly. This includes helping with such tasks as set-up, parking, water stations, crowd control, clean-up, etc. Now you might be asking yourself, “I have to pay money to do the grunt work at the Race??” Yes, but you will get so much more out of it!

Every year we have a dinner the week prior to the Race honoring these Men that spend their Friday, Friday night, and Saturday setting up, guarding and taking down all the materials it takes to put on a Race of this size. At this dinner you will not only receive your Race t shirt but you will also be receiving a “Men for the Cure” hat along with other goodies provided by some of our GREAT Sponsors!!

Please contact Race Bennett, Men for the Cure Chair, at mailto:rftcmemphis@earthlink.net or our Race Office at 901-226-2873
