St. Louis Marathon Relay : 46th Annual
The St. Louis Marathon Relay is a multi-format marathon held in Tower Grove Park on Sunday, Nov. 22, 2026. The course is a roughly 3.2-mile horseshoe-shaped lap on the east side of the park; teams and solo runners complete repeated laps to total the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. The start and finish are located near the Sons of Rest Pavilion.
Event formats include solo, 2-person, 4-person and a 5–8 person party pack. Each team member must run at least one lap; remaining laps may be split among members. The 5–8 person party pack allows up to eight runners, with each of eight runners covering about 3.2 miles. Four-person teams are divided into multiple categories including junior high, age-sum divisions (80 and under, 160 and 200+), open male, open female, open mixed, family and corporate. Two-person divisions include male, female and mixed.
