The Greater St. Louis Marathon is a rolling-hills city tour that starts and finishes downtown near the Gateway Arch, crossing the Mississippi River into East St. Louis, Illinois, and passing through Soulard, the Central West End, Tower Grove Park, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and Forest Park. It is USATF-certified and a Boston qualifier, with about +300 m of elevation gain.

Why attend here

In April, St. Louis is shaking off winter with mild, sunny days perfect for exploring the city's charms after your run. Wander through the historic Soulard neighborhood for its farmers market, take in the views from the Gateway Arch, and don't leave without trying toasted ravioli or a gooey butter cake, local favorites that capture the city's hearty spirit.

Course

A genuine city tour rather than a flat time-trial. The race starts on Market Street downtown and finishes a few blocks away on Chestnut Street, near the Gateway Arch. Its signature stretch comes early, when runners cross the Mississippi River into East St. Louis, Illinois and return over the city's historic bridges — so you briefly run in two states. From there the redesigned course threads recognizable St. Louis sights — the historic Soulard neighborhood, the Central West End, Tower Grove Park and the Missouri Botanical Garden — before reaching Forest Park, the 1,300-acre home of the 1904 World's Fair and Olympic Games, in the later miles.
