The MO’ Cowbell Marathon follows a fast and mostly flat course, that begins and ends on the banks of the Missouri River and passes through many of the city’s historic sites and landmarks. The organizers will give out bells to spectators to cheer the runners on. Participants will take home a lot of gifts and souvenirs, as if it were their birthday.
