Great course with a few easy hills. Large expo with easy packet pick-up. Great local support and water stations every mile.

St. Jude Memphis Marathon never disappoints by having great organization and crowd support. Running through the St. Jude’s Children's Hospital grounds is so moving, especially with the families of the children cheering you on! Fast course and a great way to see downtown Memphis, TN.

This race is about more than running. Top notch, well run event that takes you past Memphis historic sites. Most importantly, you are running for the kids at St. Jude's and when you run through the campus and see the kids, their families and the staff you can't help but get emotional. The survivor mile in the last 10k is also uplifting, if they can fight cancer you can finish the race. My third TN marathon and yes there are hills in TN but they were not overly long or difficult in this race. Put this on on your bucket list to do at least once.
