The Belleville Main Street Marathon and Half Marathon is a popular fall road race held annually on the last Saturday of September in Belleville, Illinois. The event features two race distances: a USATF-certified, Boston-qualifying full marathon (42.2 km) and a half marathon (21.1 km), offering runners a flat, scenic route that highlights America's longest Main Street. While the half marathon takes place entirely on city streets, the full marathon combines about 16 miles of urban running with roughly 10 miles on a paved bike trail. Runners enjoy well-supported aid stations every two miles, on-course energy gels, and live split timing. Finishers are treated to medals, post-race festivities including pizza and craft beer, and a vibrant community atmosphere that makes this event a local favorite.
