The Mainly Marathons Riverboat Series – Day 1 course in Civitan Park consists of multiple out-and-backs with a loop through the park (1.191 miles total); smooth asphalt path with minimal elevation change. Number of Laps: 11 for half marathon, 22 for full marathon (subject to change).
Due to the unique multi-loop course setup, there is one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone who’s run at least one of our races; we’ve got everything from fruit to jelly beans to sandwiches, water to Gatorade to hot coffee, and everything in between. Way more than just granola bars and bananas – we even have our very own mobile kitchen, Loony Lunchbox!
Every participant (full or half marathon) will receive one t-shirt and other fun goodies. All finishers will receive a separate medal for each day; in addition, we give a special medal to those who complete all races in a series. We even give a special award to each person participating in his or her first full or half marathon! The best part: The famous caboose, given to the final finisher of each marathon and half marathon!
Civitan Park is 98 miles from the next day’s race in Arkansas. A stop in picturesque downtown Winnsboro, with antique shops and old time storefronts, is like a time warp. Visit the Old Post Office Museum at 513 Prairie St. Admission is free but is only open on weekdays.

I enjoy these races because of the friendly people, and the race organizers. The courses aren’t especially pretty, but they are usually in a state park. There is one port-a-potty and one aid station. The aid station is stocked with more food than you can possibly eat. I had to discipline myself to not eat too much each time around! You loop around and you see the same people and wave. It’s unlike any other race or race series I’ve done before.
