GEROLD BLUM MEMORIAL 5K
Event Description
Join us for the Annual Blum Run, a heartfelt tribute to Gerold Blum, a former University of Memphis Army ROTC cadet and student who passed away in 2013 due to a rare heart condition. Together, we celebrate his remarkable spirit and raise funds for the American Heart Association, inspiring hope and making a difference in his name. No official timing services are provided, but participants will receive a shirt, and prizes will be awarded to our top finishers. This year we are happy to announce that Overton Park has volunteered to host our event (1928 Veterans Plaza Dr., Memphis, TN). When you check in on race day at the registration table, you'll receive your T-shirt.
NOTE: If you are unable to attend, please show your support by registering for the event and receive your t-shirt by mail. If you decide to independently, share the hashtag #BlumRun2025 and tag us on social media (Instagram: UofM_rotc).
All proceeds from the event will benefit the American Heart Association's research, education, community outreach, and patient care efforts! Check out their website at: https://www.heart.org/en/affiliates/tennessee
