You've never had more fun with the blues!

Come to the Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon in January 2011, and you can expect to have a good time. Challenge yourself with the 26.2-mile marathon or the 13.1-mile half-marathon. You can even create a team of five runners and tackle the course as a relay team. Four of you take on five-mile legs with the final runner going the 6.2 miles to the end. Wheelchair competitors are welcome to take part in this challenging course!

We continue to lead the pack for our awesome Southern hospitality! Here's how runners graded us online:
