The West Tennessee Counseling Association's (WTCA) Fall 2018 Community Service Project. 

This year, we will participate in the Big River Crossing Half-Marathon and 5K, benefiting the Peer Power Foundation.   All W.T.C.A. members, family, and friends are encouraged to register and be an integral part of this event.  This is an excellent time for our association to support one another, but also promote the greater cause of elevating West Tennessee's most valuable students.  

 

BIG RIVER CROSSING HALF-MARATHON and 5K
November 3, 2018 
Benefiting Peer Power Foundation

 

 

 

The Big River Crossing Half Marathon + 5K benefiting Peer Power will feature the first race to make the interstate trek across the Mississippi River’s longest public pedestrian bridge. Starting at the foot of Beale Street on Riverside Drive, the Big River Crossing Half Marathon will take runners over Big River Crossing, through the Big River Trail on the Arkansas flood plain, and along Dacus Lake. The event also includes a 5K through Downtown and Tom Lee Park with inspiring views of Big River Crossing and the Mississippi River. 

 

The goal of this Memphis based non-profit is to recruit and train high-performing high school and college students to tutor and mentor their peers. Just since last year, they have partnered with the University of Memphis and Shelby County schools, expanding their overall impact. The inaugural races last year were a resounding success, and they expect double the participants this year so be sure to sign up soon.
