St. Joseph Marathon 2026

The St. Joseph Marathon is an annual race day held at Civic Center Park on Francis Street in St. Joseph, Missouri, starting at 7:00 a.m. CDT. The event features a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and relay, accommodating runners seeking the full distance and those preferring a shorter local race. The course details are centered on Civic Center Park, but the event’s structure is evident: it is a multi-distance community marathon weekend, not solely an elite competition. It also provides virtual marathon, half marathon, and 10K options, allowing participation without needing to be at the St. Joseph start line.
