About the Belleville Main Street Marathon
This southwestern Illinois race grew from a locally focused marathon into a marathon-and-half weekend. Main Street staging gives spectators and post-race activity a compact home.
Course
The certified course moves through Belleville streets and residential areas before returning downtown. Rolling sections call for more restraint than the region's flat geography might imply.
Race-day weather
Late September may be cool at sunrise or still feel like summer. Humidity and direct sun can build, so runners should avoid overcommitting early.
