Belleville Main Street Marathon
The Belleville Running Club and Toolen’s Running Start conduct the Belleville Main Street Marathon.
For 2021, currently we are hoping to be back in person and are awaiting city approval to hold the marathon on Sept. 25, 2021. Please check back in mid-March for updates!
Couch to 5k Training
The 2019 Couch to 5K training was a success. Look to the 2020 Couch to 5K training in early 2020.
Marathon Training
The BRC and Toolen’s Running Start organize and conduct full marathon training for the Belleville Main Street Marathon. Training typically begins late May and goes through late September. The marathon is held the last Saturday of September. Consider training for this awesome event!
Adopt a Trail
Don’t forget to pick up any litter you see along the trail and keep an eye out for anything that needs to
be taken care of (potholes, lights out, etc). Send an e-mail to us and we’ll forward the info to Parks and
Recreation.
