In the space of 41 days, some of the fastest runners in the Mid-South will have the opportunity to race for the M-Town Crown. Race directors of four evening races have united to create the M-Town Race Series.

“It’s a good idea,” said Bob Kirk, an attorney at the forty lawyer firm Farris Bobango that stepped up to become title sponsor the all new  running series.

A joyous celebration on Sunday, May 5 launched the latest effort to bring better nourishment to people who lack proper access to fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. The Green Machine Mobile Food Market will begin making its rounds in early June. The renovated city bus was parked outside St. Patrick Church across from FedEx Forum on May 5th as an exuberant crowd cheered its unveiling. Community leaders united with church members to cut the ribbon and welcome the new nutrition bus to the menu of other efforts aimed at making low income Memphians healthier people via their diets. You’ll have the chance to tour the Green Machine at the Gibson Guitar 5K Run-Walk coming up on Saturday afternoon, June 15.
