Best In-Person & Virtual Marathons in Missouri for 2022
Missouri
Due to the overwhelming number of caves in Missouri, the state has earned the nickname the “Cave State”. However, there is more to this state than caves. It is home to Branson, which is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Midwest. It is also home to notable landmarks such as The Gateway Arch and Silver Dollar City. The history of marathon in Missouri dates back to the 1904 Olympics, which was dubbed as the craziest marathon ever. It was also historic for having the first two black African racers participate in the marathon. Since then, Missouri has hosted several marathon events annually.
