Join us on Saturday, December 2, for the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, at the largest single-day fundraising event for St. Jude. The St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend allows every runner to raise funds for our lifesaving mission.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

Your support means so much to the kids of St.Jude.
St. Jude patient Katherin capped off a big year with a first-time run in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon® Weekend. As the half-marathon route took her through the St. Jude campus, the cancer survivor was flooded with memories of her treatment there.
St. Jude patient Katherin
I kind of like teared up a little bit, just because I saw the great emotion from families that were standing there and just saw the support. I don't know them, but you could feel the love and encouragement from each one of them, Katherin said.
Run in style with the top purchased gear from the St. Jude Gift Shop.
