The Belleville Main Street Marathon and Half Marathon is a non-profit event, with proceeds reinvested back into our community (community food pantry, Belleville Parks and Recreation Department, and a college scholarship fund for Belleville high school students), with $20,000 being donated from 2025 race proceeds. We are a grass-roots event organized by dedicated volunteers from the Belleville Running Club and Toolen’s Running Start.
