About the Midsouth Marathon

Mid-South Races for Hope, formerly the Mid-South Marathon, is a Boston-qualifying marathon, half marathon and 5K in Wynne, Arkansas. The out-and-back course runs through Wynne's historic district and along Crowley's Ridge, starting and finishing at Wynne Baptist Church. The most recent edition ran on November 1, 2025. Organizers cancelled the November 2026 edition, saying participation has declined since COVID and last year there were as many volunteers as runners. Source
