Hamilton Eye Institute Race For Sight 5K

Join runners from across Memphis on March 13, 2027 for the tenth annual Brad Baker Honorary Race For Sight 5K. This inspiring event benefits the Hamilton Eye Institute Lions Club, a dedicated nonprofit providing eye care to underserved communities both locally and internationally. The race kicks off at Jones Pond Pavilion in Shelby Farms Park, with participants gathering by 8:30 AM CST for pre-race preparations.
The scenic Chickasaw Trail serves as the fully paved course, winding through lush greenery and offering runners a picturesque backdrop of nature. Whether you're an avid runner or simply looking to support a great cause, this race welcomes all abilities—walkers, dogs, and strollers are also invited to join in the spirit.
Registration fees include an official t-shirt for both on-site ($23) and virtual participants ($23), with additional perks like tote bags available. Race day features cones marking the course, and awards will be given out at Jones Pond Pavilion to the fastest overall runners as well as winners of various age groups. The race not only promotes physical wellness but also raises crucial funds for vital eye care initiatives.
For those who prefer a more relaxed approach or wish to contribute from afar, registering as a "Spirit Runner" ($23) is an excellent way to support this meaningful cause without the need to run physically.
