## Resource

We head south to Jackson, Mississippi for the Run the Rainbow Marathon, a race with a powerful mission supporting the state’s only children’s hospital. From the moment we arrive, it’s clear this event is fueled by heart, kindness, and a community that truly cares about its runners. The weekend kicks off with an eventful expo experience, complete with great swag and memorable conversations with runners from all over. Race prep takes an unexpected turn with a late-night food delivery adventure that adds a little extra character to the trip. On race morning, we toe the line with a unique and intimate marathon field, setting the stage for a different kind of race experience. The early miles bring a steady rhythm and a relaxed mindset, especially coming off the mental grind of Tokyo just weeks prior. As the course unfolds, we’re treated to stunning neighborhoods, historic homes, and some of the most beautiful scenery you could ask for in a marathon. The race also delivers a challenge with rolling hills and rising temperatures, reminding us to stay present and keep moving forward. Even through the toughest miles, the spirit of the event and the people behind it continue to shine. In the end, Run the Rainbow proves to be a meaningful and memorable race experience, blending purpose, community, and the joy of running into one unforgettable journey.
