Belleville Main Street Marathon & Half Marathon

🎉 Race Overview

On September 27, 2025, get ready to experience the excitement of running America's longest Main Street in the historic town of Belleville, IL, situated in the heart of America and just a short drive from downtown St. Louis, MO! As you make your way down Main Street, enthusiastic volunteers will greet you on every corner, providing incredible support and cheers with the charm of a Midwest small town. Our full marathon is a USTAF-certified Boston Marathon qualifier and features about 16 miles of city roads, including Main Street, and approximately 10 miles on a paved trail, making both the full and half marathons accessible for runners of all experience levels! Participants will receive a soon-to-be your favorite everything T-shirt and a finisher's medal as part of their registration. After the race, join us for a celebration featuring Belleville's Bennie's Pizza Pub pizza, a special beer brewed just for you by Belleville's Shoehorn Brewing (for those ages 21 and older), and a DJ to keep the atmosphere lively as you celebrate your remarkable achievement. The Belleville Main Street Marathon and Half Marathon is a non-profit event, with proceeds reinvested back into our community. The event is organized by the Belleville Running Club and Toolen's Running Start.
