Run It Fast

This is the medal for the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon that was held on January 5, 2013 in Jackson, Mississippi.

Love the blue guitar medal! Runners also received a harmonica with their race swag. I doubt any of the runners who received this medal were singing the Blues though!

Registration for the Tupelo Marathon & 14.2 Miler has opened as of today.  The race will be on September 1, 2013 in Tupelo, Mississippi.

The race is a Southern favorite with it’s early 5am race start in the dark (to help avoid heat) and killer Skull ‘n Crossbones finisher’s medal and long-sleeved tie-dyed shirt.

This race always sells out and is capped around 800 entrants.

Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis Presley and it’s a very quick trip just minutes away from where the race takes place.

You can register and read more about the race on the Tupelo Marathon & 14.2 Miler Website (HERE).

This is the medal for the Tupelo Marathon that was held on September 2, 2012 in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Wild medal! Kind of scary and the motto is hardcore but I would run a marathon for this medal!

Here are a few more photos of some of the RIF – The Club members that were there, the back of the marathon medal, and the medal for the half marathon (actually 14.2 miles):

Love that the half marathon medal for this is a broken half of the marathon medal! Fun stuff!
