Be part of the Team Fundraising Challenge. Join one of our challenges and compete with others on a fundraising team to raise funds for the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Whether you fundraise with your company, your friends or your local running group, being part of a fundraising team will add more camaraderie and meaning to your St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend experience. Plus, it gives you a chance to earn recognition on race weekend.

During registration, your team can set an overall team fundraising goal, and then each team member can contribute to that goal by setting an individual goal.

Compete for St. Jude kids

The top three corporate, community and patient family teams will be recognized on race weekend in two categories: most funds raised and most participants. All you have to do is join a team or form a team during registration, and select your category.
We'll also be recognizing the top three fundraisers and top three race finishers among first responders and members of the military. To join the competition, simply check the box when you register.

You can be part of a fundraising team at any race distance, as a supporter, or as a volunteer.

Fundraising deadline to be recognized in the Top 3 participants & teams is 10 a.m. CT on Friday, December 2.
