COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Belleville goes all out for this event. This year (2019) was even more enjoyable than last year. The community participation is outstanding. Like a hometown parade. I love how the various neighborhoods compete. Makes you want to get to the next one to see what they've come up with. Organization is fabulous. Cannot believe how many volunteers there are.

"A Must Run Marathon" (about: 2019)
First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The Belleville Marathon is one of a kind. If this is your 5th marathon or your first, it is equipped for everyone. The support system and volunteer base is second to none. The energy, entertainment & fans brightened every runners face. The energy of the volunteers were contagious. The runners themselves were so supportive and encouraging. I have never experienced something quite like it. I will always hold the Belleville marathon in a special place in my heart as it was my first. I would highly recommend this race to anyone. The only way we will go far in life is by cheering on one another. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I'm relatively to marathons (only have 19 completed) but have been racing for 47 years.
