• St. Jude Heroes registration is open May 3-31, 2021.

                    o   Participant must commit to raise $600 (Bronze Hero), $1500 (Silver Hero), $3000 (Gold Hero), $5,000 (Platinum) or $7,500 (Platinum Premier Hero) and hit minimum by 12/17/2021 (See details under FUNDRAISING section)

• General registration (no fundraising commitment/minimum) opens June 1, 2021 until all races sold out.

While fundraising is not required for general registrants, every participant receives a personalized St. Jude Heroes fundraising page, along with tools and guidance on how to fundraise. Registration fees ensure we're able to put on a great race, but those wishing to make a donation to St. Jude are strongly encouraged to fundraise or donate directly to the event.

Fundraising is a great way to enhance your race-weekend experience, and to help us make sure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food. In appreciation, all participants who fundraise will receive recognition items. Learn more.

Yes, but only if the race you want to switch to is not already sold out. You'll be charged the difference in entry fees in effect at the time of upgrading.

Please note: A participant who completes a race other than the one for which they are registered will not be eligible for any awards (i.e., not be listed as a finisher with an official time).

To switch races, email marathon@stjude.org. You may only switch race distance once.
