Gare di Marathon vicino a Clayton

The DeClue Loops Trail Race takes place annually at Greensfelder Park in Wildwood, Missouri, on the DeClue Trail during October. Runners can choose their distance: one loop covers approximately 8 miles, two loops total 16 miles, a marathon distance follows three-plus loops, and four loops complete the 50K. The loop measures about 8.2 miles, beginning and ending near the park's Visitor's Center. Participants travel clockwise on each circuit. This format accommodates newer trail runners seeking a single circuit and seasoned runners desiring a longer challenge on Missouri's natural terrain of dirt, hills, and wooded parkland. Awards are presented to top finishers, and St. Louis Track Club members receive a registration discount using the email associated with their membership.

La Show Me Your Free State Marathon and Ultra-Marathon parte e arriva al Rosecrans Airport, a Saint Joseph, Missouri, che si trova vicino al confine tra Missouri e Kansas, nella valle del Missouri River. La Benton High School organizza l'evento, e puoi scegliere tra le distanze di 100 miles, 50 miles, 50K, marathon e half marathon. Il percorso è un anello di 25-mile da fare in senso antiorario. Questo sistema semplifica l'orientamento per le gare più lunghe: per la 100-mile devi fare quattro giri, e per la 50-mile due. Anche le distanze più corte usano lo stesso percorso. Chi fa la 50K completa un giro intero di 25-mile e poi inizia un secondo, girando indietro dopo 3 miles. I maratoneti invece tornano indietro dopo 0.6 miles su una sezione aggiuntiva, mentre chi fa la half marathon fa 6.55 miles all'andata prima di tornare. I proventi vanno a beneficio dei programmi di Cross Country e Track & Field della Benton High School, dando un supporto concreto alla scuola locale. Vengono forniti anche un manuale per i runner e piani di allenamento per le varie distanze, una risorsa utile per chi partecipa sia alla marathon che agli eventi di ultra-running.

The in-person entry includes a long-sleeve performance shirt, a unique finisher medal, free parking, free downloadable race photos, and packet pickup available over two days. Following the races, the event continues its cowbell theme with a family-friendly party featuring food, music, and post-finish socializing.

The St. Louis Track Club Marathon Relay is a marathon-distance relay held in Tower Grove Park, typically in November. Rather than a point-to-point course, it divides the 26.2 miles into repeated laps of approximately 3.2 miles on the park's east side. Runners can compete solo, as a pair, in a four-person group, or with a larger team of five to eight, accommodating marathoners, friends, families, and co-workers sharing the distance. The loop follows a horseshoe shape, with the start and finish lines situated near the Sons of Rest Pavilion. Teammates take turns running laps, and each team member must complete at least one. This course design simplifies spectating, allowing supporters to view runners at the start area and again near the midpoint of each loop. Teams frequently establish a base camp with tents and chairs, contributing to a park gathering atmosphere rather than a typical road marathon.

La St. Louis Marathon Relay si corre ogni anno a Tower Grove Park, con partenza alle 9:00 (ora centrale) e un tempo limite di sei ore. Puoi fare la maratona intera da solo, condividerla con un solo compagno, dividerla in quattro, oppure formare un "Relay Party Pack" da 5-8 persone, pensato per segmenti più corti e un'atmosfera più rilassata e non competitiva. La struttura dell'evento è pensata per accogliere sia i runner solitari più seri, sia le squadre di staffetta "standard", i membri dei club e gli amici, permettendo a tutti di usare lo stesso percorso della marathon pur avendo obiettivi diversi. L'opzione Party Pack può ospitare fino a otto partecipanti, con una media di circa 5K a testa. I soci dello St. Louis Track Club hanno diritto a un piccolo sconto sull'iscrizione per tutte le categorie. Questa gara è una tradizione di lunga data dello St. Louis Track Club, non un evento temporaneo, e Tower Grove Park è l'unica location, ormai familiare, per tutta la giornata.

The Greater St. Louis Marathon is a spring race weekend held in downtown St. Louis. The marathon, half marathon, and 10K begin simultaneously at 7:00 a.m. A 5K follows at 7:30 a.m., and a 1-mile family fun run starts at 9:00 a.m. This schedule accommodates dedicated marathoners, shorter-distance participants, walkers, and families. The marathon and half marathon commence and conclude downtown, with the finish line festival located outside St. Louis SC’s CITYPARK. Participants in the full and half marathons who require an early start may apply for one hour before the main field, contingent on a recent finish time. This group will have lead and tail vehicles. Packet pickup occurs before race day at the Greater St. Louis Marathon Expo in Ballpark Village. There, registered runners receive their bibs, race details, and race bags. The weekend also features the National Running Club Championships & Rally, concluding with live music and local food at the after-party.
