About the Stennis Space Center Marathon
The course runs the paved perimeter roads of an active federal space center, through wooded stretches where deer and other wildlife cross the road with some regularity. The route is flat throughout, which makes it a popular choice for runners chasing a personal best, and the marathon is Boston-qualified. Security checks at the main gate add time to your morning arrival, so plan accordingly.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a welcome center just off the interstate, well outside the space center gates. Race-morning pickup is available near the start. After you finish, red beans and rice, beer, soft drinks and fruit are served on site.

The Stennis Space Center Marathon has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
