JOIN US FOR THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE MAGNOLIA MARATHON & HALF ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2022. Your Magnolia Committee is hard at work putting together another excellent event! We’re so excited about our 10th Anniversary too! Get excited with us for the return of our handmade finisher medals and awards, great local food and brew and a great atmosphere! Our 2021 event yielded a donation of $2000 to The MIND Center at UMMC. Thanks for helping us Help them! Our 2022 goal is to exceed that amount! If you’re looking for a race with super friendly volunteers, a unique finisher medal, and a healthy dose of hills (49 according to one of our 2021 finishers who counted them!), Give Magnolia a try!
