About

St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend unites athletes and supporters to raise funds for lifesaving childhood cancer research. The weekend includes a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a Kids’ Fun Run, with large community engagement, student runs, and virtual options. It is the largest single-day fundraiser for St. Jude, helping families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

Catering & aid stations

On-course hydration stations and restrooms available at all race locations; check-in includes a light breakfast for in-person participants.

Pacers

Pace groups will be available for in-person races to help runners maintain target times. Virtual participants receive guidance on self-pacing and are encouraged to join live events when possible.
