About the Sioux City Mighty Mo Marathon
Sioux City's marathon anchors a three-day September race weekend, with the full and half on Sunday after shorter races on Friday and Saturday. The draw is a flat, certified three-state course and unusually practical logistics, including an indoor staging area at the Siouxland Expo Center.
Course
The course follows the Missouri River Trail and touches Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota in a single morning. It is flat and built for speed, with paved trail miles, multiple aid stations, and a start and finish based at the Siouxland Expo Center.
Race-day weather
Mid-September mornings in Sioux City are often cool, but the river valley can turn warm and bright by late morning. Wind along open trail sections is the most common stressor, so even effort beats chasing splits into a headwind.
