The Fall Final 20 shares the Marathon course (and pacers) through mile 14.7. After mile 14.7 Fall Final 20 runners must self pace.

All runners will start in one corral.

Find your per minute mile PACE sign in the start corral and line up accordingly. Pace based starting is very important for optimum runner spacing on the course. Please be respectful of your fellow runners and be honest about your pace. You do not want to get run over by faster runners or get caught up in the excitement, go out too fast, and pay for it later.

About the Fox Valley Marathon Races

Combining small race atmosphere with big race amenities, the Fox Valley Marathon, Half Marathon, and Fall Final 20 are ideal for both veterans looking for a fast race, as well as first timers looking for an uncrowded, supportive, family-friendly race setting. 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.
