Mississippi River Marathon

The event is held annually in early February and offers runners a road race through the unique landscape of the Mississippi Delta, with a route that begins in Arkansas and crosses into Mississippi. The course is known for being extremely flat with the main exception being the crossing of the Greenville Bridge over the Mississippi River. Runners encounter paved surfaces for the entire route, and the total elevation gain and loss are minimal, with only about 217 feet of gain and 207 feet of loss,
