The River to River Marathon is a point-to-point endurance race running across Pike County, Illinois — beginning at the Mississippi River in Louisiana, Missouri and finishing at the Illinois River in Pearl, Illinois. This race is designed to be: -Simple -Honest -Community-powered -Experience-driven No loops. No city streets. Just real miles across rural Illinois.

Race Day Logistics & Transportation:

This is a point-to-point race, and we’ve planned it that way on purpose. To keep the course clear, safe, and runner-first, we’ve built in simple logistics that just work: - A race shuttle bus will transport solo runners back to the start line after finishing - Relay teams may stage vehicles at exchange points or bring a non-running driver - Multiple access roads allow smooth runner pickups at exchange locations - Course design keeps vehicle traffic off the race path as much as possible

What this means for you: - No dodging cars - No chaotic handoffs - No confusion at exchanges - Just running.

The result is a race that’s organized, safe, and actually fun — whether you’re running solo or with a team. We’ve thought through the details so you can focus on what matters: crossing rivers, covering miles, and finishing strong.
