About this race
Chasing Memphis- A Legacy Run
“Life presents us with many choices, but it only takes a few to change our lives and the lives of those around us.”
— Memphis P. Peralta
Chasing Memphis: A Legacy Run is a community run created to honor the life and legacy of Memphis Peralta — a beloved son, brother, friend, and scholar whose curiosity, selflessness, grit and determination touched everyone who knew him.
Memphis was an academically gifted young man who had the opportunity to attend some of New York’s top schools, where he grew both academically and personally among a community that recognized his potential and encouraged him to pursue excellence. He was accepted into leading colleges and offered full scholarships — opportunities made possible because people believed they could make a difference in a young man's life. Their belief made a difference in his.
This race was created to carry that spirit forward.
Proceeds from the event will support the Memphis Legacy Scholarship, which helps academically gifted boys from low-income and underserved communities in New York City pursue educational opportunities and reach their full potential.
By running, walking, or supporting this event, you help continue Memphis’ legacy and create opportunities that can change lives for generations to come.
Join us as we run with purpose, remember with love, and create hope for the future.
