Expo Information

We're working on making the 2012 Expo as well organized as ever, with Blues music, vendors and speakers to cater to your tastes. To inquire about vendor space for the 5th Annual Mississippi Blues Marathon, please click here to download the Expo Registration Form. You may also email Jessica Lynch for Expo Registration information.

In 2012, we will host the Blues Expo for the 5th Annual Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon at the Jackson Convention Complex on January 5 and 6. This state-of-the-art facility provides over 11,000 square feet of event space with stunning panoramic views of downtown Jackson that has allowed us to create a unique Expo experience for everyone.

You are invited to be a part of one of the fastest growing, well-organized races in the country and experience Southern hospitality at its finest! Because we strive to provide each runner with that authentic laid back blues experience, we can offer only limited vendor space. Last year our Expo sold out two months before the race. Availability and booth locations will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. This is your opportunity to be involved in an event praised by runners from around the world as being one of the best race experiences.

Volunteer

The Mississippi Blues Marathon and Expo would not be possible without the support of our community. Our volunteers are consistently praised for their efforts and true Southern hospitality. If you are interested in volunteering for the 2012 race, let us know! Click here to Volunteer!
