Course & Travel Notes

The YV5K takes place at 312 feet elevation, which is low enough that altitude won't significantly impact your pacing. Sunrise occurs at 6:56 AM on race morning, giving you plenty of daylight before the 9:00 AM start time. Expect typical early October weather in Memphis with highs around 75°F and lows near 50°F, though about a quarter of days in this period see measurable rain, so check the forecast closer to race day. Memphis International Airport is just 7.6 miles from the venue, making it convenient for travelers flying in.
