Starved Rock Country Marathon

Ottawa, IL
Saturday, May 11, 2024

Description

The Starved Rock Country Marathon and Half Marathon have become the "must do" events of the running community in central Illinois. Runners will be inspired by the scenery of rolling country hills and natural rock formations tucked into heavily wooded areas created by the Illinois River thousands of years ago. The Marathon and Half Marathon do have some elvation changes but the scenery is well worth it.
