St. Jude Memphis Marathon/Downtown Street Closures
This coming Saturday morning, December 7th, is the St. Jude Memphis Marathon. Downtown will face street closures, thousands of runners (and filled parking lots), and a heavy police presence . The wheelchair race is set to begin at 6:55 a.m., and those running on foot will begin in waves at 7:00 a.m. Runners will have the right-of-way, and the police will hold up traffic for the runners. You can find a link to the course map here .
The law school will be open, but it may be difficult to get here and park. Please see the parking map below. The law school is located in the yellow area, and the map states that vehicles must be parked in the yellow zone by 6:15am and can only exit after 11:30am. We recommend coming to school early (before 6) or later in the day once the race is underway. All streets surrounding the Law School will be impacted, at some point during the day, by the race.
