A Runner from Martinez, Georgia (9/3/2001)
"A very fun and well-run marathon!" (about: 2001)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 1


Even though it rained the entire marathon, it was a pleasant and enjoyable course. The runners and organizers were very friendly and made you feel welcome. The t-shirt is awesome and you can't beat the beer and pizza they served up afterwards!
 

A Runner from Alabama (6/22/2001)
"One you will remember...." (about: 2000)


COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 2


Anyone who signs up to run a marathon in Mississippi in the summer knows what they are in for. Starts in the dark and I remember hearing the first ambulances about a half hour after the sun came up. Don't think the charity teams will start turning out en masse for this one anytime soon. Seriously, this is a very well run event. How it doesn't make it on the '25 Toughest' list, I'll never know....it is a true test. It has a great T-Shirt design...a huge flaming Skull and Crossbones with Tupelo Marathon in bold letters....it will really make them stand up and take notice at your next running club meeting. Try it...you won't forget it...
 

The Preacher from Booneville, MS (5/6/2001)
"A run in the dark at the end of the summer" (General Comments)


COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 1


This is a neat way to get a marathon in at the end of the summer if you enjoy running in the dark and heat. The people are great and take care of the runners well. The course is nothing to brag about except they have fixed the potholes and it is fairly flat. Each year I hope for a cold front to lessen the heat or a shower. Fortunately this has been the case in about 3 out of 4 years, so it is not always so bad. The run is overall comfortable, friendly, and well managed.
