Marathon course at Memphis Marathon

Описание: The course of the Memphis Marathon is introduced by creating a video using Google Earth (Pro & Studio).

The Memphis Marathon is defined by its profound philanthropic mission, uniting runners from around the world to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Held annually in December, the race begins in the iconic and vibrant Beale Street district.

After a relatively flat, downtown route, runners are soon transported to the bustling Mississippi Riverfront. Here, views of the revitalized waterfront and the Hernando de Soto Bridge provide an uplifting experience. The course then turns to the emotional center of the course, the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital campus. While this section is flat, the cheers of children, staff, and families serve as a powerful reminder of this mission.

Leaving the campus, the race continues through the historic neighborhood and begins its challenging run with a series of Memphis-inspired rolling hills, including a rugged stretch around Overton Park. The course is officially classified as "rolling," with a total elevation gain of approximately 700 feet. The final leg of the race includes a downhill climb on Union Avenue adjacent to AutoZone Park before heading to the finish.

Memphis is cool in early December, with predicted temperatures ranging from a low of 3°C to a high of 12°C, making it generally perfect for running.
