The Memphis Police Department, along with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, will be present during all St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend events to provide an enhanced level of security to participants, spectators, staff and volunteers. Please be sure to follow all safety procedures and leave valuables at home.
The following are strictly prohibited on the course to ensure runner safety and comply with liability insurance requirements:
-
- unregistered runners
- unauthorized vehicles
- bicycles
- skateboards
- hoverboards
- in-line or roller skates
- baby joggers or strollers (except the kids marathon)
- all animals
Any type of unauthorized support or pacing will not be allowed, including, but not limited to, support from a vehicle (fluid bottles, splits, etc.), as such support will be considered an unfair advantage. Noncompliance will result in immediate disqualification.
What about headphones?
Headphones and other electronic listening devices are allowed but not recommended to ensure your safety and the safety of others around you on sometimes crowded city streets shared by vehicular traffic. If you use headphones, please be aware of your surroundings.
-
At any event attended by children, there's the potential to become separated from a parent, guardian or responsible adult. The St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend works to ensure all children and vulnerable adults feel safe from harm and have a place to go if separated from their grown-up.
- Everyone under the age of 16 attending the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend must be accompanied by an adult.
- A designated Lost/Separated Children Reunion Spot will be located at the Information Booth.
- All lost children, vulnerable adults and parents/guardians separated from their dependent can speak to any St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend staff member, volunteer or security person to be directed or taken to the Reunion Spot.
Items turned into lost and found (AutoZone Park Plaza Info Booth) not claimed by 4:15 p.m. on race day will be returned to the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend office. Items will be discarded or donated to charity if not claimed within five working days following Race Day.
Your assigned start corral designation will be printed on your bib in the lower left corner. Your corral assigment is based on your estimated finish time. Please follow these times and instructions as it is critical to our safety protocols and impacts the safety of your fellow participants.
Step 1 – Bib
Attach your bib to the front of your shirt. Your number must be visible at the start, finish, and all points along the course to prevent you from being disqualified.
Please do not fold, cut or alter your bib in any way, the timing chip is included in your bib and any alteration could impact the ability to time you accurately. Please ensure your race bib is:
- Clearly visible on the front of your torso
- Unaltered and unmodified (do not fold or wrinkle)
- Pinned on all four corners
- Not covered (by jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
Step 2- Start Times & Locations
5K/10K
- Start time: 7:00 a.m.
- Start location: B.B. King Blvd. and Madison Ave.
- Corrals labeled by letter
Half Marathon/Marathon
- Start time: 8:00 a.m.
- Start location: B.B. King Blvd. and Beale St.
- Corrals labeled by letter
Step 3- Start Procedure
Look for the elevated sign with your assigned corral designation. Race officials will check your bib at the start corral entry point to ensure you are at the proper corral. Upon race start, follow the directions of race officials to keep moving forward through the start line.
Based on targeted marathon finish times, pacers will keep each group on the designated pace. Half marathon participants are welcome to join a group as well. Upon arrival, look for the pacer holding the sign with your desired pace time.
-
The pace times below have been confirmed as of publication, but additional pace groups may be added. The complete and finalized list of pace teams will be available at the pace team area at the expo. View full pace team page for downloadable list.
Marathon Projected Finish Time
(hours:minutes)Pace Per Mile
(minutes:seconds)3:25 7:49/mile 3:30 8:01/mile 3:35 8:12/mile 3:40 8:23/mile 3:50 8:46/mile 4:00 9:09/mile 4:10 9:32/mile 4:20 9:55/mile 4:30 10:18/mile 4:40 10:41/mile 4:50 11:04/mile 5:00 11:27/mile 5:20 12:12/mile 5:40 12:58/mile 6:00 13:44/mile *(hours:minutes)
Two timing methods are used for the event:
- Gun time - The time it takes you to finish the race based on when the start gun is fired.
- Chip time - The time it takes you to finish the race based on when you cross the start line.
Results and awards for overall winners will be based on gun time. Results and awards for all age group winners will be based on chip time.
The course will be clearly marked. Split-time clocks will be at every mile, and kilometers will be marked every 5K. Anyone leaving the course — except to use the facilities or receive medical attention — will be guilty of an unfair advantage and immediately disqualified.
Traffic management will be directed by the Memphis Police Department. Runners should be aware of vehicular traffic, particularly at all intersections. Please stay alert.
-
The first hydration station will be located between mile mark one and two. Hydration stations will then be approximately every 1.5 miles with water, Gatorade®, Vaseline®, bandages and portalets available. GU Energy Gel in a variety of flavors will be available at hydration stations near mile marks 12.7, 16.5, 19.2, and 23.2.
If you have not trained with Gatorade® or GU Energy Gel or used them before, it is recommended you use them with caution.
-
There are five hydration stations on the 10K course and two on the 5K, all with water, Gatorade®, Vaseline®, bandages and portalets.
Participants must comply with all directions given by race officials, including immediately retiring from the race if directed to do so by a race official or any governmental authority (including fire and police officers).
Event officials also reserve the right to delay, cancel or suspend the race due to weather, safety or security concerns. Official course closure means police protection ceases and vehicular traffic resumes. The finish-line structure disassembly will begin after 4 p.m.
- Marathon course time limit: 6.5 hours
- Half Marathon course time limit: 4 hours 20 minutes
- 10K course time limit: 2 hours
- 5K course time limit: 1.5 hours
The time starts when the last participant crosses the start line.
Runners are advised to drink plenty of liquids during the run. If you are drinking both water and some form of a fluid replacement drink, you should maintain a sensible balance to ensure proper electrolyte balance. We urge medical caution by all runners, particularly first-timers. Do not go beyond your physical limit.
If you have medical conditions that you wish to be known in case of emergency (such as illness, special conditions, allergies, medications, blood type, etc.), write them in waterproof ink (permanent marker) on the special form found on the reverse side of your race number.
-
Runners should notify hydration station personnel of any injured or ill runner requiring assistance. A runner who appears to be suffering from a life-threatening condition, such as heat stroke, may be examined by a qualified race official to determine the seriousness of the problem. No disqualification will result from such action, even if the examination is hands-on, provided the course covered by the runner has not been shortened or substantially altered in the examination process. A runner who, in the qualified race official's opinion, is in control of their faculties will be permitted to decide whether to finish, while one who is not will be removed from the race regardless of whether such action could result in a possible loss of prize.
Numerous ambulances will be mobile on the course. Emergency radio communications will be available at all hydration stations. A doctor-and-nurse-staffed field hospital will be located at the finish line.
Runners unable to complete the race will be transported via SAG shuttle back to AutoZone Park. Once transportation is requested at the nearest hydration station, it is important that runners not leave the scene by any other means so that their safety and whereabouts can be accounted for. Runners who do not complete the entire course must not cross the finish line.
In order for your finish time to be recorded, you must cross the mats at the finish line wearing your race bib. Do not cross the finish line a second time.
Make certain your race bib is pinned on your front and completely visible for race officials and photographers.
-
Please pre-plan for your runner reunion location of choice. Left field in AutoZone Park is the only runner reunion area insde the Finisher Festival.
-
Visit stjude.org/marathonresults to check your time, especially if you expect to be an award winner. Official results will be posted on our website and sent to local media, national running publications and the Boston Marathon.
-
All awards will be personalized and mailed after the event. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery. The St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend does not offer prize money. Virtual participants are not eligible for awards.
All finishers will receive their finisher medal upon crossing the finish line. All 2-Race participants will pick up their challenge medal at the Health & Fitness Expo.
Visit the results page following the event for information about how you may obtain your personalized certificate of completion.
