For the last 12 years, The Quad Cities Marathon, a USATF certified course and Boston Marathon qualifier, has been held annually in September. The event covers 5 races, 4 cities, 3 bridges, 2 states, and 1 Island, all along the mighty Mississippi River.The 26.2 mile run starts and ends in downtown Moline, IL.

This year we are giving away our best finishers medal in our 12 year history to all marathon finishers. If your a marathon veteran or a first time runner you'll love the Quad Cities area. We are a race organized by friendly Midwest people who love to run. And we are the only place on the Mississippi where the river runs East and West.

Thank you to all the participants, sponsors, our fantastic crew of volunteers and race committee. Thanks to everyone coming together to make what we believe is the best marathon in the United States... Come Join Us !
