I've run this marathon every year and have never been disappointed! You have to love a marathon with free parking, water stations almost every mile, and amazing spectators!!

This was a really well run race. Lots of support on the course. Volunteers at nearly every cross walk. Police directing traffic at all the major intersections. Water, Gatorade, and porta potties just about every mile.

Belleville goes all out for this event. This year (2019) was even more enjoyable than last year. The community participation is outstanding. Like a hometown parade. I love how the various neighborhoods compete. Makes you want to get to the next one to see what they've come up with.

Organization is fabulous. Cannot believe how many volunteers there are. Every one of them enthusiastic and urging you on. Water and Gatorade every mile or two - fabulous. Well done, Belleville!

First Marathon

This was my first marathon. Everything was fantastic..from the training emails, to the friendly volunteers along the route, and the course. The small hometown feel helped me finish. Best time I have had running a race.

This is a great local race. Easy to pick up a packet day of, run the race, and get out of it what you want.

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


I ran this again this year, 2019. It was challenging with temperature and humidity, luckily, we had cloud cover and little rain too. It was great to see the support and enthusiastic volunteers and supporters in the neighborhoods.

"A Must Run Marathon" (about: 2019)

First Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


The Belleville Marathon is one of a kind. If this is your 5th marathon or your first, it is equipped for everyone. The support system and volunteer base is second to none. The energy, entertainment & fans brightened every runners face. The energy of the volunteers were contagious. The runners themselves were so supportive and encouraging. I have never experienced something quite like it. I will always hold the Belleville marathon in a special place in my heart as it was my first. I would highly recommend this race to anyone. The only way we will go far in life is by cheering on one another.

"Well-orgainzed, delightful race." (about: 2018)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I'm relatively to marathons (only have 19 completed) but have been racing for 47 years. This race was very well organized and executed, from the thoughtful close-by parking, to the water stations and porta potties, to the fabulous spectator support. Just a lot of fun. Go do it.
