Register for the 2011 Mississippi Blues Marathon

September 29, 2010

Shake, rattle, and run! Organizers of the 4th annual Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon have partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises for the 2011 race in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. It will take place on January 8, and it's sure to be a hunk, a hunk of Elvis fun!

The marathon and half-marathon are open to runners of all skill levels and will again feature live musicians along the race route, exceptional "swag" for participants, and that familiar block party vibe at the finish line.

Runners will also want to check out the Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon Expo at the Jackson Convention Center on January 6-7. The race course will be slightly revised for 2011, but the start/finish area will remain in the heart of downtown Jackson directly in front of the Old Capitol Building.
