Field Set for 9th Quad Cities Marathon

Quad Cities Marathon

Pre-Race Review/ Lineup

This year’s race will be run on a redrawn course that means more of the Iowa side of the Mississippi River and less of the long, arduous ending stretch that worked its way through East Moline. The alteration eliminates the possible threat of three of the four railroad crossings the course previously passed over.
