For the first time ever, JMAA is proudly sponsoring the Mississippi Blues Marathon on Saturday, February 22, 2025, in downtown Jackson—right in front of the Mississippi State Capitol!
This year marks the 18th annual race, featuring a marathon (26.2 miles), marathon relay, and half marathon, all in honor of B.B. King and Medgar Evers’ centennial birthdays! The Mississippi Blues Marathon has been a premier tourism event for Central Mississippi, drawing runners and walkers from across the country. A major highlight this year is the final stretch of the course, now officially called “Medgar’s Mile”—a powerful tribute to the legacy of Medgar Evers.
