 "Great Race! Will Run Again!" (about: 2017)
3 previous marathons
| 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Everything about this race was exceptional: the price ($65...unbelievable!), the high level of organization, the ease of getting to the course and parking on race morning, the aid stations (every 1-2 miles, with gels in 3 locations), the course itself (only a few small hills), the consistent crowd support from mile 1 to mile 26, the friendly volunteers, and the post-race party (including a full meal from the best BBQ place in the area!). A great experience. I'll run it again! | |

"Well organized. Awesome volunteers!" (about: 2017)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my first marathon, so I wasn't sure what to expect but the whole experience WAY exceeded my expectations. I think the volunteers outnumbered the runners! Everyone was super friendly and energetic. The course was great! Before the race, I wasn't even sure I'd be able to finish but on race day, I beat my expected finish time by 45 minutes! Turns out, I run much better with people handing me water and cheering me on. The support for this race was super from start to finish. I highly recommend this race for both newbie and seasoned runners. GREAT experience! Can't wait to do it again! :) | |

"Nice and inexpensive race!" (about: 2017)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 With it being only the 2nd time it was held, I was concerned about the crowd support and if the course directions would be clear. The crowd support was amazing, especially during the second 13.1 miles. Course directors were at every turn or intersection so there was no confusion of which way to go. I also really appreciated the frequency of cold water/gatorade stations (every 1-2 miles). It may have been a small race, but I definitely believe the race will get more competition in the coming years because of the course and cost. | |

"Fantastic race!!!" (about: 2017)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 What a wonderful event! And I think what's most impressive is that they do it all at a crazy inexpensive price ($65). The fact that it was a marathon ONLY event makes all the difference. It was so nice to have all of the emphasis on the marathon and not the half. The volunteers were exceptional. The course was just right with a few small hills, but nothing terrible. And the finish line spread was impressive with bbq by Beast Craft BBQ. Highly recommended! | |

"Amaziing course, workers, and support!!!" (about: 2016)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Belleville Main Street Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Belleville marathon was my 35th marathon. And it is one I will do again!!!! Total small town welcome and support when you arrive at the start, the workers encouraged runners and welcomed them. Professionally organized! The course is mainly flat and very nice. The hills which are in the course (maybe 5) are spaced out so you are not beat up. Lots of water stops and the crowd (which lined the whole course) was amazing. Each water stop was like a little party, very energetic!! Shirts are well made, medals are big but very classy. Food at the end was unbelievable!!! Very good food not just a grab and go. Finish announcer called out each persons name when they came in, how cool is that to hear your name once you finished!!! AMAZING RACE!!! |
