- Abundant parking around downtown Memphis. parking garages and side streets.

- digital tracking for runners which is useful for family and friends.

- Pace groups are offered for the full and half marathons if you choose to run with them.

- Great race support all along the course with both the aid stations (almost every mile) and from the spectators. I saw so many great signs on the course.
