Mainly Marathons Riverboat Series Day 7 (IL)

The Mainly Marathons Riverboat Series – Day 7 course in Vienna City Park is an out and back; mostly crushed rock with a little portion of asphalt, very flat. Number of Laps: 5 for half marathon, 10 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!

The race site is in Vienna, IL, so you will probably take I-24 through Metropolis, where Superman awaits your visit (exit 37). Also in Metropolis, you will find Fort Massac State Park, Illinois’ oldest state park. It features a replica of the fort built in 1802, as well as cultural artifacts.
