Real runner feedback on course feel, crowd support, aid stations, and logistics (parking, hotels, restaurants).
This is a runner's race. Nothing fancy just very well supported. Volunteers at water stations are amazing. Food and showers at the high school is always great
Easy race day sign up. Runner friendly.
Flat with very little hills. I
I live within driving distance so can't comment on accommodations
Friendliest race EVER!!!! Rural country running with aid every mile to include port-o-potties. Lemme tell ya! Nowhere else will you get a post race meal, shower, indoor plumbing for $40 Bucks! That's right! $40 BUCKS! If you call the race director, he actually answers! If you email the RD he emails you back! What a gem! Oh! By the way it's also a Boston Qualifier! Can't say enough about this small town race!
Be conservative for the first mile as it's a slight grade, but distance yourself from the pack from there to mile 4! Slightly rolling in nature just enough to feel uphill both ways. Not pancake flat, but not a run through mountains!
Being a small town race the hotel choices are limited. My advice is to stay in Memphis. It's only about a hr drive down I55 then to hwy 64. Directions are well laid out on the www.midsouthmarathon.com website.
