26th Annual Quad Cities Marathon

The 26th running of the Quad Cities Marathon will take place on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at 7 a.m.

The 26.2-mile run starts and ends in downtown Moline. Officials say the course captures the essence of our nation's heartland with a consistent connection to the Mississippi River. The views are amazing, the Midwest charm is present and the course is fairly fast.

Since the first race in 1998, the TBK Quad Cities Marathon has become a Midwest favorite.

The Quad Cities Marathon is a great Boston Marathon qualifier. It covers 5 races (marathon, marathon relay, half marathon, 10K, and 5K), 4 cities, 3 bridges, 2 states, and 1 island, all along the mighty Mississippi River. Click here to see the maps of each race.
