Are you ready for the Midwest's favorite marathon? THE Quad Cities Marathon, a USATF certified course is held annually on the fourth Sunday in September. The 26.2 mile run starts and ends in downtown Moline, IL. The event benefits two worthy causes: prostate cancer research & screening and the Erika Kate Foundation, helping families of children with life threatening heart conditions.  The flat and fast course features one of the finest, most scenic river views in the country. It covers 5 races, 4 cities, 3 bridges, 2 states, and 1 island, all along the mighty Mississippi River.

Race weekend offers something for everyone. Along with the marathon, we offer a half marathon, marathon relay, 5K, 1mile walk and even a micromarathon for the kids. Whether you're looking to qualify for Boston, or walk a mile with your friends - this fun and well organized event is perfect for elite athletes and casual runners alike. [keep reading]
