About the St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon
The half is part of St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend, the hospital's largest single-day fundraiser. Runners get a major-city event and a direct connection to the cause, with fundraising teams, patient-family stories, and campus miles central to the experience.
Course
The route begins near Beale Street, reaches the Mississippi Riverfront and Tom Lee Park, passes through the St. Jude campus, and uses an out-and-back on tree-lined North Parkway before returning downtown. A downhill Union Avenue finish ends beside AutoZone Park.
Race-day weather
Early December in Memphis can be crisp and fast, but cold rain, wind, or a warmer humid morning are all possible. Layer lightly and check the forecast rather than assuming winter conditions.
