2026 marks the 25th anniversary of St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend presented by Juice Plus+, and we can’t wait to celebrate this incredible milestone with you!
As we look ahead to this landmark year, we’re inspired by the more than 22,000 participants and supporters who helped us raise $15.8 million during last year’s event. Your dedication fuels the momentum heading into our biggest and most meaningful race weekend yet.
This December, we’ll honor 25 years of running, fundraising and community – while rallying together to make an even greater impact for the kids of St. Jude. Whether you're returning as a runner or participating for the first time, this anniversary year is the perfect time to go farther and be part of something historic – helping raise more than $16 million for the kids of St. Jude.
St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is only possible because of the thousands of participants, supporters and more than 4,000 volunteers who bring this event to life each year. For 25 years, your commitment has helped St. Jude continue leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
And thanks to supporters like you, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. Let’s make this anniversary year unforgettable. Let’s run for more breakthroughs. More hope. More celebrations at the finish line. Here’s to 25 years – and to the biggest year yet. Together, we can do this!
