We have some exciting news for future Belleville Marathon & Half Marathon race days!

Starting next year, the Belleville Main Street Marathon & Half Marathon will move to the 4th Saturday of October.

Save the date: October 23, 2027!

To comply with a request from the City of Belleville, we’re moving our race date due to an overwhelmingly full city event calendar in September and early October. We’re excited to make this change—and we’re hoping there’s a pretty great bonus that comes with it…

We saw the marathon shirt and sunglasses out in the wild! 👀

Tomorrow is the big one.

10 years of the Belleville Main Street Marathon.�10 years of runners. Volunteers. Families. Friends. Businesses. And an entire community coming together on Main Street.

And now… it’s almost race day!

Are you ready?

Before you head to the starting line, here are a few last-minute reminders:
🏃 Don’t try anything new. Stick with the shoes, breakfast, hydration and nutrition you’ve practiced with.
💧 Hydrate today. Drink water throughout the day, but don’t overdo it right before bed.
🍝 Eat a familiar dinner. Keep it simple and choose foods you know sit well with you.
⏰ Set those alarms. Race morning starts early! Give yourself plenty of time to park, use the restroom, get your gear together and make your way to the start.
📍 Know where you’re going. Packet pickup is available tonight from 6–8 PM at Bennie’s Pizza Pub, or tomorrow morning from 5:30–6:30 AM near 19 Public Square.
👟 Lay everything out tonight. Bib, shoes, socks, watch, nutrition, clothes—get it all ready before you go to bed.
🧠 Trust your training. You’ve already done the hard part. Tomorrow is about putting it all together.
❤️ And most importantly—enjoy it. Look around. Take in the crowds. High-five the volunteers. Soak up Main Street. You’re part of something that has been 10 years in the making.

See you tomorrow morning for the 10th Anniversary Belleville Marathon & Half Marathon!

Who’s ready?! 🎉
