From RaceRaves:
As the largest single-day fundraiser of the year for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is a “must-do race” that “touches your heart.” Expect...“outstanding crowd support” (plus a hip-swiveling Elvis or two) in the birthplace of Rock and Roll, starting in the historic Beale Street Entertainment District and highlighted by an emotional visit to the St. Jude campus where patients, their families and onlookers gather to cheer on the runners. Because no matter how fast or how far you run, you can celebrate a personal best feeling knowing you made a difference in the battle against childhood catastrophic diseases.
