Marathon preteky v blízkosti Jennings

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.

Show Me Your Free State Marathon and Ultra-Marathon štartuje a končí na Rosecrans Airport v Saint Joseph, Missouri, čo je pri hranici Missouri-Kansas v údolí Missouri River. Akciu organizuje Benton High School a môžeš si vybrať zo 100 miles, 50 miles, 50K, marathon a half marathon. Trať je spravená ako 25-mile okruh, ktorý sa beží proti smeru hodinových ručičiek. Vďaka tomu sa ľahšie naviguje pri dlhších pretekoch: na 100-mile pretek sú štyri kolá a na 50-mile pretek dve. Kratšie preteky idú po tej istej trati. Na 50K ideš jeden celý 25-mile okruh a potom začneš druhé, ale otočíš sa už po 3 miles. Maratónci sa otáčajú po 0.6 miles na takej pridanej sekcii, zatiaľ čo polmaratónci idú 6.55 miles von a potom späť. Výťažok ide na podporu Benton High School Cross Country and Track & Field programov, čo je fajn, lebo podporuješ lokálnu školu. Dostaneš aj príručku pre bežcov a tréningové plány na rôzne vzdialenosti, čo je super praktická vec pre všetkých, čo bežia maratón alebo ultra.

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.

St. Louis Marathon Relay je každý rok v Tower Grove Parku. Štartuje sa o deviatej ráno a na dokončenie máš šesť hodín. Môžeš bežať celý marathon sám, alebo si ho rozdeliť s jedným parťákom, prípadne medzi štyroch. Alebo si spraviť taký 5-8 členný Relay Party Pack, čo je na kratšie úseky a skôr taká pohoda, bez nejakého pretekania. Je to super vymyslené pre serióznych sólo bežcov, klasické štafety, členov klubov aj kamošov. Všetci idú tú istú maratónsku trať, ale nemusíte mať rovnaké ciele, každý si tam nájde to svoje. Ten Party Pack je až pre ôsmich a každý si dá tak približne 5K. Ak si člen St. Louis Track Clubu, máš malú zľavu na štartovné vo všetkých kategóriách. Toto nie je žiadna jednorazovka, ale dlhoročná tradícia St. Louis Track Clubu a celý deň sa to beží na jednom známom mieste, v Tower Grove Parku.

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.
