St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend
St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is a fundraising event in Memphis, Tennessee, that supports the work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The weekend combines multiple race options with community participation and volunteer support to raise funds for patient care and research.
Race formats include both in-person and virtual opportunities, and the program features a Kids' Fun Run. In recent communications the event noted more than 22,000 participants and supporters helped raise $15.8 million during the previous year, and organizers seek to increase fundraising to support St. Jude’s services. The event also involves more than 4,000 volunteers who assist with race operations and logistics.
The event messaging emphasizes that families receiving care at St. Jude do not receive bills for treatment, travel, housing, or food, allowing them to focus on their child’s care. The weekend lists sponsors and community partners and shares resources such as a participant event guide, course maps, a health and fitness expo, and fundraising incentives. Course and schedule information, race results, and participant resources are available as part of the event information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
