Missouri Running: Gateway City and KC Landmarks
Missouri's running scene is dominated by two distinct metropolitan experiences: the historic and cultural landscapes of St. Louis and the vibrant, rolling hills of Kansas City. The Greater St. Louis Marathon (formerly the Go! St. Louis Marathon) is a cornerstone event that showcases the "Gateway to the West." The course guides runners through the city’s historic areas, offering views of the iconic Gateway Arch and often touring landmarks like Busch Stadium and the historic Lafayette Square, combining a city challenge with an unparalleled tour of the city's key architectural and cultural sites.
The Scenic Rivalry: Kansas City vs. St. Louis
In Kansas City, the Garmin Kansas City Marathon offers an equally celebrated but physically different experience. Known for its moderate elevation and rolling hills, the KC Marathon takes runners on a comprehensive tour through the city's coolest neighborhoods and past major landmarks, including the World War I Museum and Memorial and the Country Club Plaza. It is a highly-rated event, often recognized as the "Best Marathon in Missouri" for its excellent organization and comprehensive city route.
Beyond the two major cities, events like the MO' Cowbell Marathon near St. Charles offer a charming, flatter alternative north of St. Louis. The name itself reflects the fun, high-energy atmosphere along the course. Meanwhile, trail runners can tackle rugged challenges in the Ozark Foothills, ensuring that whether you prefer the urban speed or the wilderness grit, the Show-Me State has a race to fit your style.
