Race Shirts: All registered runners will receive a long sleeve technical race shirt. Shirts will be size and gender specific. Finisher Medals: Race specific medals will be given to all race finishers who complete the course within the (6 hour marathon) course closing deadline. Timing:
Travel: The Fox Valley is 45 miles due west of Chicago, with easy access from Chicago O’Hare, Chicago Midway, and Rockford airports. (Map and directions.) Accomodations: Prize Money: The Fox Valley Marathon is not offering prize money.
Awards: All awards are based on age on race day. (Technically, I guess they are also based on gender on race day.)

Combining small race atmosphere with big race amenities, the Fox Valley Marathon is an ideal marathon for both veterans looking for a fast course to qualify for the Boston Marathon (21% of 2011 runners qualified) as well as first time marathoners looking for an uncrowded, supportive, family-friendly race setting. (23% of 2011 runners were first timers). Whether you’re looking for a last shot at Boston Qualification, to augment your training for the Chicago Marathon, or for a hassle-free, fun, picturesque and fully supported race day, the three courses wind along flat, tree lined roads and paths overlooking the scenic Fox River. The Fox Valley Marathon is the right race for the right reason for the right person - YOU. Starting and ending in historic downtown St Charles, IL, the course winds through picturesque Geneva, Batavia, North Aurora, and Aurora to a spectacular finish across the Fox River that can be seen from over a mile away. The course offers fantastic viewing spots for families and supporters, as well as frequent and well positioned aid stations that are staffed by the most supportive volunteer teams of any race you’ve run. All 3 of last year’s races sold out, and our 2012 runners loved our course, our volunteers, our host communities, and everything about the Fox Valley Marathon. (See runner comments.)
