Discover the Greenway

Wolf River Conservancy, whose mission is to protect and preserve the Wolf River and its watershed, is hosting its annual “DISCOVER THE GREENWAY” awareness and FUNdraising campaign this summer, June 3-10, 2023.

The week will feature a host of events EVERYONE can enjoy, from walking to biking to paddling and more. And NEW this year – we are adding the Discover the Greenway 5K! This event will culminate an entire week of fun outdoors on Saturday, June 10, at 8 a.m. at the Wolf River Greenway – Shady Grove Trailhead (6324 Humphreys Blvd, Memphis, TN 38120).

WHAT DOES DISCOVER THE GREENWAY ENTAIL?

Previously, the multi-day event consisted of secret selfie stations strategically placed among the disparate Wolf River Greenway locations. The community was encouraged to “discover” the stations along the way and take selfies at each one to be entered into a drawing to win one of SEVERAL amazing prizes.

This year, we’re building upon the selfies but making the entire program EVEN bigger and better!

There will be several events taking place throughout the week. Everyone is encouraged to attend, from families to dogs (on leashes), outdoor enthusiasts, walkers, singles, and more. And we want EVERYONE to take those selfies and hashtag #discoverthegreenway #discover2023 #greenway5K

NEW THIS YEAR IS THE DISCOVER THE GREENWAY 5K!

The community is invited to register at www.wolfriver.org/discover

We can’t wait to see everyone on the Wolf River Greenway and at the annual Discover the Greenway awareness and FUNdraising campaign. And we can’t wait until all 26 miles of paved walking and biking trails are complete, connecting 22 neighborhoods in Memphis with natural resources right in their backyards.
