From the Organizer
Trample the Weak and Hurdle the Dead at the 2026 Tupelo Marathon and 14er. The marathon course is an out and back on beautiful rolling country roads. Mississippi's only 14er is a 14.2 mile run along the same route that splits from the marathon at mile 13. Both races start before sunrise at 5:00am to beat the heat. We will have water stops and a few cheering spectators along the way.
Registrants will receive long sleeve race shirt and finishers will receive a medallion. Prizes will be awarded for overall, Masters, Grandmasters, and age group winners. Entries will be capped at 150 for the Marathon and 300 in the 14er. No awards, shirts or medals will be mailed.
TIME LIMIT WILL BE IN EFFECT. CLOCKS WILL CEASE TIMING AT 6 HOURS.
1. Refund considerations will be based only if race is cancelled.
2. Age limit 18 years for the Marathon and 16 years for the 14er with parental consent for anyone under 18.
3. Swapping of races is discouraged but if you sign up early and don't wait until the last minute, we might consider it.
4. No carry over of registrations to following year.
5. No transfers of entry to another person. Though it is hard to police this, if caught you will be banned and so will your substitute.
