Event
Details
Planned as the concluding race event for a 40-week training program
that bears the same name and draws runners from across the state who
participate in training teams leading up to the day of the race, the
Marathon Makeover Marathon & Half
Marathon will be run for the first time ever in the fall of 2009 in
Ridgeland, Miss., a town that lies just a short drive north from the
state's capital city of Jackson.
Both the full and the half marathon will start at Ridgeland's North
Park Mall, just off Interstate 55 and Highway 51. From there, the
course takes runners on a route through Ridgeland's city streets and
residential neighborhoods, and back to the mall for the finish. Both
races also are open to both runners and walkers, and those running the
half will have four hours to complete their race, while those running
the full marathon will have eight hours to complete their race's 26.2
miles.

Weather & Climate
Located in central southern Mississippi, just a few miles east of the
Ross Barnett Reservoir and about 10 miles north of the state capital
Jackson, the city of Ridgeland typically experiences cooler and drier
weather in the mid-fall season than during its often very hot and humid
summer months. In October, the city's average monthly temperatures
range between 77°F and 52°F, while rainfall totals
average just over 3.4 inches for the month.
