Candy Cane Course - Memphis

Candy Cane Course - Memphis is a five-distance holiday event in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 20, 2026. The 15K (9.3 miles), 10K (6.2 miles), 5K (3.1 miles), 1 mile and kids dash all go off at 9:00 a.m. Chip timing with live results covers the main races, and entrants receive a branded shirt and a custom medal, along with access to event photos and treats afterward. Younger participants get reduced pricing, and a virtual option lets you take part from anywhere.

Choosing between the distances comes down to what your current long run looks like. Under four miles, take the 5K. Around six, the 10K is comfortable. Eight or more and the 15K is within reach. Whichever you pick, remember that everyone starts at once: hold your own pace for the first mile instead of chasing the runners who will be finishing while you are still working.
