PRE-RACE CONSIDERATIONS 

Security 

The Memphis Police Department, along with other 

local, state and federal law enforcement agencies 

will conduct operations during all marathon weekend 

events to provide an enhanced level of safety to 

athletes, spectators, staff and volunteers. Please be 

sure to follow all new safety procedures. 

Gear Check 

All checked gear must be in the clear bag provided 

at the expo. No exceptions. An area to check gear and 

other items will be located in the plaza of AutoZone Park 

starting at 6:30 a.m. on race day. Use the pre-numbered 

tab at the top of your race number and affix it to the item 

with a plastic tie available at the bag check area. After the 

race, you may claim your item at the same location. 

The bag check area closes at 3:30 p.m. 

Note: There is no gear check at FedExForum or 

the St. Jude Heroes Lounge at The Peabody. 

Affixing Your Race Number & Timing Tag 

Please use four safety pins to affix the number to the 

front of your shirt or jacket. Your number must be 

visible at the start, finish and all points on the course 

so you are not disqualified or asked to leave. Please 

do not fold or cut your number. Pin only through the 

four small holes. 

Your B‐tag is attached to your race number (see page 23). 

Please make certain that the number on your B‐tag 

matches the number on your race number. If not, visit 

the solutions desk at packet pickup. 

IMPORTANT: Your B-tag is affixed to the back 

of your bib. It is not to be removed for any reason. 

If your B-tag is not worn properly throughout the 

race, you will not receive an official time. 

Parking 

There are many surface lots and parking garages within 

four to six blocks of the start and finish lines (see page 20). 

Be sure to arrive early to ensure a parking space. 

The average charge is generally $10. Plan to arrive early 

to familiarize yourself with the area, find the bag check 

area at AutoZone Park, and be in your appropriate 

corral or start line at least 30 minutes before the race 

starts. 

Prohibited Items 

Unregistered runners, unauthorized vehicles, bicycles, 

skateboards, in-line or roller skates, baby joggers or 

strollers, and all animals are strictly prohibited on the 

course to ensure runner safety and comply with liability 

insurance requirements. Any type of unauthorized 

support or pacing will not be allowed including, but 

not limited to, support from a vehicle (fluid bottles, 

splits, etc.), as such support will be considered an 

unfair advantage. Noncompliance will result in 

immediate disqualification. 

What about headphones Headphones and other 

electronic listening devices are allowed but not 

recommended to ensure your safety and the safety 

of others around you on sometimes-crowded city 

streets shared by vehicular traffic. 

Runner Tracking 

For the marathon, marathon relay and half marathon, 

runner tracking is available for friends and family to 

keep track of where their runner is on the course. 

Runner tracking will provide updates at several splits 

in addition to estimated finish times (See page 22 

for details). 

Mascots for Kids Marathon 

& Family Fun Run 

To create a fun and exciting atmosphere for our 

families, we will have a variety of mascots at the 

Kids Marathon & Family Fun Run. For parents of 

children who do not like mascots, please be aware. 

There are several mascots scheduled to appear.

GENERAL INFORMATION cont’d 


Water and Restrooms 

Water and restrooms are located in a parking lot parallel 

to the start on Fourth Street (see page 21), off the main 

lobby of FedExForum (Third Street entrance), and the 

AutoZone Park concourse. 

Corrals and Wave Start 

Here’s how the wave start works: All participants are 

asked to be in position at the start in the corral (listed in 

the chart below) that best describes his/her projected 

pace (average minutes per mile for marathon or half 

marathon). In other words, if you believe you will run a 

12‐minute/mile pace (in marathon or half marathon), 

you should line up at the start in corral #12. 

Corrals will be designated by signs at roped-off sections 

of the street (see page 21).

When the horn sounds, the first corral (Elites in front) 

will be released. The runners in corral #2 will slowly 

walk to the start line, where they will be held in place 

for about two minutes and then released. This process 

will continue until the last corral is released. 

The 5K will have a wave start with three corrals. We ask 

that walkers enter the last corral. 

Pace Teams 

Based on targeted marathon finish times, these groups 

will be led by volunteers coordinated by the Memphis 

Runners Track Club (MRTC) who will keep each group 

on the designated pace. Half marathoners are welcome 

to join a group as well. Stop by the pace team booth at 

the expo to learn more about pace groups. 

Discarded Clothing 

Clothing and other personal items discarded at 

the start will be collected and donated. Items 

collected anywhere on the course will be thrown 

away as trash. The St. Jude Memphis Marathon 

Weekend cannot be responsible for items left on 

the course or at bag check. 

ON THE COURSE 

On-Course Support 

Split time clocks will be at every mile, and kilometers are 

marked every 5K. The course will be marked by cones, 

mile/kilometer markers and directional personnel along 

the road. The course (except in Overton Park) is defined 

as being between the curb and the cones. Anyone 

leaving the course — except to use the toilet or receive 

medical attention — will be guilty of an unfair advantage 

and immediately disqualified. 

Traffic control will be directed by the Memphis Police 

Department. Runners should be aware of vehicular 

traffic, particularly at all intersections. While police 

traffic control is planned at all major intersections and 

numerous others along the course, it is impossible 

to cover the entire course. PLEASE STAY ALERT! 

Course monitors and directional personnel will also 

be at appropriate locations. 

Marathon 


half marathon 

The first aid station will be between mile marks 1 and 2. 

Aid stations will then be approximately every mile from 

mile marks 3 through 25 with water, PowerAde ® , Nuun ® , 

Vaseline ® , bandages and portable toilets available. 

Portalets will also be located at mile marks 1 and 2. 

Lemon-lime PowerAde and Nuun Tri-berry will 

be served on course. 

GU Energy Gel in a variety of flavors will be available 

at aid stations near mile marks 9, 15, 18 and 21. 

If you have not trained with PowerAde, Nuun or GU 

Energy Gel or used them before, it is recommended 

that you use them with caution. 

Personal Fluids 

There will be a table at the front end of each aid 

station for runners’ personal fluids. A runner may 

have his/her personal handler take his/her bottles 

and place them on the table, but there must be no 

verbal or physical exchange between the runner 

and personal handler and/or other individuals. 


Aid stations will be near mile marks 1 and 2 with water, 

PowerAde, Vaseline, bandages and portable toilets 

available. If you have not trained with PowerAde or used 

it before, it is recommended that you use it with caution. 


The Kids Marathon & Family Fun Run course is a 

one-mile course with a unique downhill finish from 

Monroe Avenue into AutoZone Park. 

Course Limit 

Marathon 

The marathon course time limit is six hours. All 

participants arriving at the marathon/half marathon split 

near Sun Studio (approx. mile 12.5) after 11:30 a.m. 

will be diverted to the half marathon course. These 

participants will cross the half marathon finish line and 

receive a half marathon medal. 

All marathon participants arriving at Relay Exchange 

#4 (approx. mile 19.6) after 1:15 p.m. will be required 

to board a bus returning to AutoZone Park. The A.W. 

Willis gates to the St. Jude campus (approx. mile 24) 

will be closed at 2:30 p.m. and all participants arriving 

afterward must move to the sidewalk and make their 

way back to AutoZone Park. The finish-line structure 

disassembly will begin after 2:30 p.m. and late arrivals 

will not receive an official finish time but will recieve a 

marathon finisher medal (if available). 



The course officially closes at 8:30 a.m. when 

police protection on the course ceases and vehicular 

traffic resumes.

GENERAL GENERAL INFORMATION cont’d 

Medical Aid 

We urge medical caution by all runners, particularly 

first-timers. Do not go beyond your physical limit. 

If you have medical conditions that you wish 

to be known in case of emergency (such as illness, 

special conditions, allergies, medications, 

blood type, etc.), write them in waterproof ink 

(Sharpie marker) on the special form found 

on the reverse side of your race number. 

Runners should notify aid station personnel of any 

injured or ill runner requiring assistance. A runner 

who appears to be suffering from a life-threatening 

condition, such as heat stroke, may be examined by a 

qualified race official to determine the seriousness of the 

problem. No disqualification will result from such action, 

even if the examination is hands-on, provided the 

course covered by the runner has not been shortened 

or substantially altered in the examination process. A 

runner who, in the qualified race official’s opinion, is in 

control of his/her faculties will be permitted to decide 

whether to finish, while one who is not will be removed 

from the race regardless of whether such action could 

result in a possible loss of prize. 

Marathon 


half marathon 

There will be first aid-stations on the course between 

mile marks 9 and 10 and just past mile mark 20. Twelve 

additional ambulances will be mobile on the course. 

Emergency radio communications will be available at all 

aid stations. Course directors supply trucks and pickup 

vans also will have radio communications. The course 

physician will be in the race director’s car. 

A doctor-and nurse-staffed field hospital will be located 

at the finish line in the basement level of AutoZone Park. 

Three ambulances will be positioned near the stadium 

as well. 

Runners are advised to drink plenty of liquids during 

the run. Drink in small quantities early and often, 

especially if the weather is warm. Do not wait until you 

are thirsty. If you are drinking both water and some 

form of a fluid replacement drink, you should maintain 

a sensible balance to ensure proper electrolyte balance. 

Spirit Stations 

These various groups will provide entertainment 

along the marathon, half marathon and marathon 

relay courses and cheer on the runners

with Elvis, perhaps Memphis’ most famous citizen. 

Photo prints may be ordered from our website, 

stjudemarathon.org in the “Shop-Photos” section. 

Dropping Out 

Runners unable to complete the race will be transported 

back to AutoZone Park. Once transportation is 

requested, it is important that runners not leave the 

scene by any other means so that their safety and 

whereabouts may be accounted for. RUNNERS WHO 

DO NOT COMPLETE THE ENTIRE COURSE MUST NOT 

CROSS THE FINISH LINE. 

FINISH 

Entering AutoZone Park 

So that your finish time can be recorded, it is vital that 

you cross the mats at the finish line (and that you are 

wearing your B‐tag timing device). Do not cross the 

finish line a second time. Do not permit family, 

friends or relay team members to cross with you 

as this will cause you to be disqualified. 

Make certain that your race number is pinned on 

your front and completely visible for race officials 

and photographers. Race supervision, electronic 

timing and scoring are under the direction of the 

Memphis Runners Track Club. All of its decisions 

are final. 

After Crossing the Finish Line 

After the finish line, you will be awarded your finisher’s 

medal, and given a bottle of water and a heat sheet. 

Medical assistance will also be available if needed. 

You will then be directed to exit the field and access 

the post-race runner food & beverage and bag check 

areas. Please do not rendezvous with family and 

friends at the top of the steps as this creates a 

bottleneck for all participants.

Post-Race Food & Beverage 

When you enter the post-race food & beverage area, 

please exhibit your race number with the appropriate 

tab for tear off. There is no entry without the tab and 

the area is for race participants only. Once you leave 

the food & beverage area, there is NO RE-ENTRY. 

Note: All marathon relay members are granted access 

to the food & beverage area. 

Trophies and Awards 

Marathon, marathon relay, half marathon and 5K: All 

trophies and plaques will be personalized and will take 

longer to produce. Expect these to be mailed 45 to 60 

days after the event. Refer to the Event Details section 

of stjudemarathon.org for complete information. For 

the marathon relay, all five winners of winning teams will 

receive a trophy. 

Do something even greater 

than finishing a race. 

Beer and Tea Garden (New for 2014) 

The beer and tea garden will host McAlister’s Deli 

Famous Sweet Tea Ț M Michelob Ultra and Wiseacre 

beer. There is a two-beer maximum. To gain entry 

to the garden, you MUST obtain a wristband 

at the expo after showing proper identification. 

No wristbands will be given out on race day. 

NO EXCEPTIONS. 

Race Results 

All race bibs will contain a personalized QR code 

for each participant. Scan the code to obtain your 

personalized results (see back cover). Official results for 

the open (overall) division in the marathon, marathon 

relay and half marathon as well as the St. Jude 

Memphis 5K will be based on the actual order of finish 

(“gun time”). All other results, including award trophies 

and plaques, will be based on B‐tag time. B‐tag time 

is defined as the duration of time from the moment a 

runner crosses the mats at the start until the moment 

that runner crosses the mats at the finish. 

Please check results to validate your time, especially 

if you expect to be an award winner. After 2:00 p.m. 

on race day, all uncontested results will be considered 

final. Official results will also be sent to the local media, 

national running publications, the USATF Road Running 

Information Center and the Boston Marathon. Race 

results are considered final and no changes will be 

made after January 15, 2015. 

Certificate of Completion 

Visit stjudemarathon.org within two weeks following 

the event for information about how you may obtain 

your personalized certificate of completion. 

For those children who participate in the kids 

marathon, please remember to submit your 

Official Mileage Tracker at the expo or by mail 

no later than Monday, December 15, 2014. 

Please visit stjudemarathon.org/family for details. 

Showers 

Men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers are 

available on the lower level of AutoZone Park. Access 

to locker rooms is only via the elevators or stairs located 

on the Concourse Level. Runners must provide their 

own toiletries and towels. 

Infomation Booth and Lost & Found 

If you need information or directions, or have a question 

of any kind, our infomation booth is located in AutoZone 

Park just as you enter the stadium’s Concourse Level. 

The infomation booth also serves as our central Lost & 

Found. Items turned into Lost & Found not claimed by 

3:00 p.m. on race day will be returned to the 

St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend office. If not 

claimed within five working days following the races, 

items will be discarded or donated to charity. For the 

marathon, marathon relay, and half marathon, this does 

not include discarded clothing at the start line which will 

be donated to charity. 

Become a St. Jude Hero 

and run for a reason. 

Experience an act greater than finishing a race, become a hero for St. Jude 

Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is working towards a day when no child 

dies in the dawn of life. You can help us close the distance. 

Participate as a St. Jude Hero at 

one of these upcoming events.

Marathon Relay Details 

Marathon Relay Details 

This section highlights information that is unique to the marathon relay. It is not comprehensive of all event details, 

so please read the general information section for all important race details. 

Gear Check 

All checked gear must be in the clear bag provided 

at the expo. No exceptions. An area to check gear 

and other items will be located in the plaza of AutoZone 

Park starting at 6:30 a.m. on race day. Please 

pre-identify the item with your race number before 

it is checked to speed up the process. Use the 

pre-numbered tab at the top of your race number 

and affix it to the item with a plastic tie available 

at the bag check area. After the race, you can claim 

your item at the same location. The bag check area 

closes at 3:30 p.m. 

Relay participants are encouraged to take a gear 

check bag to the relay exchange for the incoming relay 

member. (The weather may be cold, so please pack the 

appropriate clothing for after your leg of the race.) For 

example: Relay member running leg #4 would bring a 

gear check bag for the incoming relay member running 

leg #3. Each relay exchange station (with the exception 

of #1 due to the proximity to AutoZone Park finish line) 

will have a tent for gear check. Use the prenumbered 

tab at the top of your race number and affix it to the 

item with a plastic tie available at the bag check area. 

Participants running the last leg (relay member #5) will 

need to use the bag check area located in the plaza of 

AutoZone Park. 

Timing Belt and Race Number 

Each relay team will receive one race belt with a race 

(bib) number attached. This bib will contain the timing 

device for the entire team. This belt will be transferred 

from one team member to the next at the relay 

exchange stations. Please ensure that the FIRST runner 

(relay member #1) has this belt on race day. Do not 

remove the bib attached to this belt for any reason. In 

addition, each team member will receive a race (bib) 

number which will contain the exact same number. It 

is VERY IMPORTANT that this number is worn to help 

identify the relay members as they approach the relay 

exchange point. Please use four safety pins to affix the 

number to the front of your shirt or jacket. 

Race Legs 

Leg #1 – 5K (3.1 miles): Start at the marathon 

start line 

Leg #2 – 10K (6.2 miles): The relay exchange station 

located at Third Street and Gayoso Avenue 

Leg #3 – 6.1K (3.8 miles): The relay exchange 

station located at Overton Park – Veterans 

Plaza, just north of the Memphis College 

of Art 

Leg #4 – 10.55K (6.55 miles): Think of it as half 

of a half marathon. The relay exchange 

station located on Beale Street just east 

of Fourth Street. 

Leg #5 – 10.55K (6.55 miles): The final leg (and 

also half of a half marathon). The relay 

exchange station is located at East 

Parkway near Monroe Avenue, and you’ll 

finish in beautiful AutoZone Park. 

Relay Shuttles 

All shuttles to relay exchange stations #2 and #4 will 

leave from (and return to) the northwest corner of 

Second Street and Monroe Avenue (one block west, 

toward the Mississippi River from AutoZone Park) 

beginning at 7:30 a.m. All shuttles run the same route 

and will be continuously looping this route. Please 

follow the relay shuttle signs. 

Remember, relay exchange stations #1 and #3 are 

within walking distance of the start and AutoZone 

Park (see page 16). 

Relay Exchange Station #2: This shuttle stop is on 

Madison Avenue at Tucker Street. Relay member #3 

(3rd leg of the race) will walk five blocks north along 

Tucker (changes to Morrie Moss Lane at Poplar Avenue) 

to relay exchange point # 2 in Overton Park. Relay 

member #2 (2nd leg of the race) will make his or her 

way back to that bus stop at Madison and Tucker to 

return downtown. 

Relay Exchange Station #4: This shuttle stop is 

located on the northwest corner of Edgewood Street 

at Monroe Avenue which is one block west of the relay 

exchange station on East Parkway. Relay member #4 

(4th leg of the race) will make his or her way back to 

that bus stop at Edgewood Street at Monroe Avenue 

to return downtown. 

IMPORTANT : We strongly discourage providing 

your own transportation to relay exchange stations 

#2 and #4. These locations are very difficult to 

access on race day. The shuttles will ensure you 

arrive and depart in a timely manner. Please be on 

time to catch your shuttle to ensure you do not miss 

your leg of the relay. 

Relay Exchange Stations 

Relay exchange stations #2, 3 and 4 will have water, 

bag check and limited first aid supplies. Relay exchange 

station #1 is at Gayoso Avenue, and Third Street, a 

block from AutoZone Park (finish line). All exchange 

stations are located 200–800 feet after ChronoTrack 

timing stations (blue and orange mats similar to those 

at the race start and finish). These timing stations are 

used to provide individual splits for each of the team 

members in addition to ‘Runner Tracking’ for all runners. 

Relay participants will hand off the timing belt to the 

next team member at each of the four relay exchange 

stations. Relay exchange stations #1 and #2 will occur 

on the right side of the course while exchange stations 

#3 and #4 will occur on the left. The “Relay Exchange 

Ahead” banners in addition to blue and orange timing 

mats will indicate that the relay exchange station is 

ahead a few hundred feet (except at the 10K station on 

North Parkway). Make sure your race (bib) number is 

visible so volunteers can announce your arrival and your 

teammate can move into position for the exchange of 

the belt. Be sure you move over to the appropriate 

side of the street, and do not stop in front of other 

runners for safety and courtesy reasons. 

Relay exchange stations #1 and #2 will be very 

congested so be aware of your team member’s 

anticipated pace and planned corral start to be 

ready for the exchange. 

After Crossing the Finish Line 

After crossing the finish line, you must report to the 

marathon relay belt return table located just beyond 

the finish line. Once the belt is returned, relay member 

#5 will receive all five finisher medals for the entire relay 

team. Failure to return the belt will result in a $30 fee 

and forfeit all finisher medals for the team. Water and 

heat sheets will be available immediately after finishing. 

Medical assistance will also be available if needed.
