Description
Join us for the ?th (researching) annual Tupelo Marathon and 14.2 Miler race in Tupelo, MS. We are staying on the original course that made us famous! The course is an out and back for the marathon runners on beautiful rolling country roads. For the 14.2 participants, it's a 13.1 mile run to the marathon turn-around and then a bonus 1.1 mile run to the finish. We're not charging extra for the bonus mile, so it's even a bigger bargain! It's a 5:00am start but even with the early start expect heat and humidity. We will have water stops and a few cheering spectators to help along the way.
Registrants will receive long sleeve lightweight hoodie race shirt and if you finish an award winning medallion. Prizes will be awarded for overall, Masters, Grandmasters, and age group winners. Entries will be capped at 150 for the Marathon and 300 in the 14.2 Miler. No awards, shirts or medals will be mailed.
Come join the fun and "Trample the Weak Hurdle the Dead" Sunday, August 31 at 5:00 am.

2. Age limit 18 years for the Marathon and 16 years for the 14.2 Miler with parental consent for anyone under 18.
