A Milestone Year for the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend
Memphis is getting ready to lace up its sneakers. The 25th annual St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is officially open for general registration, welcoming runners, walkers, and supporters from across the globe for its milestone event. This iconic race not only celebrates the city’s legacy of philanthropy and community spirit but also stands as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s largest single-day fundraising event.
Supporting a Mission That Matters
The marathon weekend, scheduled for 2026, will offer multiple race options, including a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K—all starting and finishing in the heart of downtown Memphis. Over the years, the event has raised millions to support St. Jude’s groundbreaking pediatric research and patient care. Every participant helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus solely on helping their child live.
Experience Memphis, Give Back, and Go the Distance
Locals know the energy on race day is like none other, from soulful Memphis music on the course to support from neighborhoods along the route. Whether you call the Bluff City home or plan to visit, the St. Jude Marathon is a Memphis tradition that brings our community together for a cause that’s close to the city’s heart.
