Greater St. Louis Marathon
The Greater St. Louis Marathon is scheduled for April 3, 2027 in downtown St. Louis. The event includes multiple race distances that run through city neighborhoods and past local landmarks, and it concludes with a post-race celebration featuring live music and local food.
Available race distances:
- Full marathon
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 5K
- 1-Mile Family Fun Run
An Early Start option is available for walkers who expect finish times slower than the standard course limits. Eligibility is based on recent previous finish times and covers walkers projected to finish between 6 and 7.5 hours for the full marathon and between 3 hours 15 minutes and 4 hours 15 minutes for the half marathon. Early starters receive official timing and finish recognition, and they are supported by lead and tail vehicles, pacers, aid stations, and volunteers. Early-starters must wear a reflective safety item and a headlamp or light before daylight, and some pacing rules apply.
Course maps are provided but subject to change. Published course time limits include a 6.5-hour limit for the full marathon and a 3 hour 15 minute limit for the half marathon; shorter events have their own pace requirements. Registration includes an event shirt, finisher medal, course refreshments, gear check, medical support, race photos, and post-race hospitality.
