Big River Crossing Half Marathon

Big River Crossing Half Marathon is run in Memphis, Tennessee, on November 14, 2026, with four distances. The half marathon (13.1 miles) and the 10K (6.2 miles) start at 8:30 a.m., then the 5K Walk/Run (3.1 miles) and the 1 Mile Fun Walk/Run follow at 8:45 a.m.

That range covers a whole household in one morning. The half marathon is the centerpiece and deserves a proper build: 10 to 12 weeks with a weekly long run climbing toward 11 miles, plus one session at goal pace. The 10K suits runners with a regular habit but no long-run routine. The 5K and the mile are open to walkers, and the fifteen-minute stagger means the shorter fields set off after the longer ones have cleared the start.
