The Mississippi River Marathon is a one-of-a-kind experience, offering the only marathon through the heart of the Mississippi Delta and opportunities unlike any other race in the world. The event was created with two key missions in mind. First, to inspire people across the country—especially within Delta communities—to embrace healthier lifestyles by joining in and supporting their races.
