Use Waze on race day for directions around road closures.
If your neighborhood is along one of our four race courses, you may be impacted on race day. Find out when and how your neighborhood will be affected, including what streets will be fully or partially closed, what alternate routes we suggest and when the runners will clear out. Please note that mail delivery along the race route on Saturday, Dec. 4 may be delayed.
Times are estimates and subject to change. Rest assured, roads will open as soon as the last runner passes.
Movement around downtown Memphis will be greatly impacted during the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend.
Due to road closures, participants and spectators should plan to be downtown and parked prior to 6:15 a.m. Please refer to the parking map below for the areas we strongly recommended for parking (within green). These areas will be accessible all day, and allow for a timely exit from downtown. Parking is also available in the yellow areas, but with significant delays and wait times for exits.
Please click the colored areas and individual icons for additional information specific to those locations.
The average charge for parking is $10. Go slow, be aware and yield to law enforcement and runners. Let’s make it a safe race day for everyone.
