GEROLD BLUM MEMORIAL 5K

Our Annual Blum run celebrates the life of Gerold Blum. Gerold is a former student and University of Memphis Army ROTC Cadet who passed from a rare heart condition in 2013. We gather annually in his honor and raise funds for the American Heart Association in Gerold's 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 St Benedict has volunteered to host our event (8250 Varnavas Drive in Cordova, TN). When you check in on race day you'll receive your T-Shirt. 

NOTE: If you are unable to attend the race you can still sign up to donate to the cause and receive a t-shirt, we will ship it to you. You can send your shipping address to Jwcox2@memphis.edu. If you run on your own, share the hashtag #BlumRun2024 and tag us on social media (Instagram: UofM_rotc). 

All proceeds from the event will go directly to support the American Heart Association.
