Fieldaze Inaugural Memphis Outdoor Festival This November

 New festival alert! 

There’s a new three-day outdoors-oriented fest starting in downtown Memphis this November 5-7, hosted by Discover Memphis Naturally. They’re calling it “3 days of revelry by the river” and I think it’s a fabulous idea. 

For the “Huzzah! On The Harbor” Kayak Race on Saturday at 2pm, the weather is looking great, and there will be a DJ, Wiseacre beer and Raw Girls juices for Huzzah participants. Use LOVEMEM25 for a 25% discount promo code on your entry fee—sign up here.

The Competitions 

Fieldaze’s main events are three competitions: a half marathon/5K race across Big River Crossing, a kayak race in Wolf River Harbor, and a cycling competition. You can register for these through the Fieldaze website. 

  • Peer Power BRX Half-Marathon and 5K Race ($25 - $55) 
  • “Huzzah! On The Harbor” Kayak Race in Wolf River Harbor ($40) -- for this one, the weather is looking great, and there will be a DJ, Wiseacre beer and Raw Girls juices for Huzzah participants. Use LOVEMEM25 for a 25% discount promo code
  • Grit & Grind Gravel Grinder Bike Race ($45)

There are actually a couple of different 5Ks going on across town that are a part of Fieldaze weekend. More info on the Memphis Adventures website. 

Fieldaze activities: Skating, Dancing, Fitness, Food

In addition to these races, there will also be a TON of free, family-friendly actives going on all weekend. I’ve rarely seen a festival so jam-packed with activities.

Expect free fitness classes and fun throughout the weekend hosted by the DMC including lots of yoga, a scavenger hunt, Zumba, line dancing in Handy Park, roller skating, a Grizzlies watch party at Wiseacre, and more. You can make your own schedule and classes are walk-up so no registration required. 

See the full schedule at memphisadventures.com/fieldaze and a quick schedule below. Also, Fieldaze will coincide with the last weekend of the annual Downtown Dining Week—more info on that coming soon.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #74: Walk Through the Old Forest

  An old-growth forest in the middle of the city? Only in Memphis. Assignment #74 in the  365 Things to Do in Memphis  is to take a walk through one of the last remaining old growth forests in Tennessee. The Old Forest is a 172-acre wooded area located in Overton Park. It has paved and unpaved trails and it's so quiet, you'll forget you're close to East Parkway, Poplar Avenue, and the bustle of the city. The Overton park old forest trails are also Reason #28 to Love Memphis. read more  here . The Old Forest Trail at Overton Park is one of my personal favorite places in the entire city, and somewhere I have spent a lot of time, so I'm happy to recommend it to you!

Support St. Jude! Volunteer At The St. Jude IRONMAN 70.3

  Sending out an SOS! Memphians, your help is needed.  The upcoming IRONMAN Triathlon benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and they are in REAL NEED of volunteers. The race is on October 2nd, but you can choose  volunteer shifts  on any days Sept. 29 - Oct. 2. (CLICK   HERE  TO SEARCH VOLUNTEER SHIFTS) Many of us have volunteered for the St. Jude Marathon in the past, handing out water, helping at the finish line, or at a cheering station. That event is always a special one for Memphis, and I believe that the St. Jude IRONMAN race can become a similar annual event where the community comes together to make it happen.  To volunteer, all you have to do is pick the day, time, and task that sounds good to you,  and sign up . Better yet—get a few friends to sign up with you.  Sign up here IRONMAN A few ways to volunteer: Help athletes during registration Hand out food  Give out medals at the finish line Pass water to cyclists Help with the IRONKIDS race See the full list of volun
