  • Comments: Good race and a lot of support. It's always a fun race. This year they ran out of post race food and drinks, which was horrible (I was starving at the time, no food or beer). There were no issues in the prior year, but seemed like it may have been a bit bigger this year.

  • Comments: The organizers did a great job. Plenty of aid stations and lots of support. The atmosphere is great. I mean, where else you would start your race listening to Elvis as you cross the starting line? Fantastic event.

  • Comments: This half goes down as one of my best race efforts in several years from training plan to race day execution. I felt like all the chips fell into on race day. Battle damage assessment: Several muscles in the back of my left arm were sore for a couple of hours after the half - may have been from my arm swing. The inside of my right knee was a little sore. The back of my right heel was almost heeled until today. The race opened up the blister area. It was sore and tender after the race and into the evening. This is a fun half to do - very nice to run for the kids at St. Jude too.

  • Comments: Great race for a half marathon, at least in my opinion. I don't have enough hills to train on locally to make a full mary a good idea there. Great town to visit. The people of Memphis were just lovely.

  • Comments: They ran out of water at the mile 6 stop. It had me worried, but every other station had plenty. I'm not sure what happened there. Other than that, the entire day was very, very fun.

  • Comments: Excellent race. Very organized, lots of great volunteers, lots of great entertainment on the course, great crowd support, great logistics, and a great cause it supports. My only complaint was the post race area was a bit too crowded and chaotic. I would recommend this race to anyone.

  • Comments: This race was extremely well organized and supported. There were tons of volunteers and water stations. Although only one station with GU. At mile 12 they ran out of cups so we had to use our hands or re-use other cups. That was gross. Otherwise it was aweseom. I loved finishing inside Autozone park. I will definitly do this race again.

  • Comments: This is a very well run event. The course is nice, although it is somewhat of a double loop, at least you run the same 6-7 mile segmetn in reverse direction so it fells different. Overall it's pretty flat, but there are constant rolling hills that are just big enough to get your attention. Water stops at every mile was nice. The post race food spread is the best I have ever been to in 10 years of racing. The Tshirt is nice too.
