Memphis Marathon

The organization and course support and mission is awesome. Second time running this race and would highly recommend anyone seeking a great marathon course to give it a try. Emotional AF when passing by the hospital and seeing the kids. Not a dry eye around. The pickle shots on the course were fun and I admit to even taking a few random shots from the friendly community block parties!

I ran the half marathon. Was very impressed with the organization, expo, race day set up, great track a little emotional, running through St. Jude's. Was great to support such an important organization. The fan support was incredible for the whole route.

This is first and foremost a fundraiser for St. Judes and it comes off like it. The race is really more of an afterthought. St. Judes is an awesome organization and if you want to raise money for them, you should do this race. If not, find another one. The course is fine with a lots of water stops and spectators. It has some hills but I wouldn't call it hilly. The race was delayed by an hour due to weather that ended up not being that bad, but I don't fault the RD for keeping people safe. Lastly, there were 24,000 half marathoners and 3,000 marathoners so you can imagine who the race is really designed for.
