Memphis, TN
This race is tied to the birthdays of the Navy and Marine Corps, and the morning carries that weight without being heavy about it. It is organized through the Naval ROTC program at a local university, so the crowd skews toward people with a connection to the military community, and the atmosphere reflects that.
