The Annual Quad Cities Running Festival is a Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids Half Mile point-to-point running and walking event held on Memorial Day—Monday, May 25.
About the Point-to-Point Course
Point-to-point races offer a unique and exciting experience, starting in one location and finishing in another—giving participants the chance to see more of the course and surrounding area. We recommend coordinating with a driving buddy to help you get to your designated start line.
For added convenience, shuttle service will be available on race morning for both the 5K and Half Marathon starts for an additional $10 per person (racing bib required). Shuttle pickup will be located in the East Moline Glass Parking Lot at The Rust Belt complex, which also serves as race-day parking. Space is limited and shuttles will be capped at 144 runners per race, so advance registration is strongly encouraged. Please note: no race-day shuttle passes will be sold, and dogs and strollers are not permitted on the shuttle.
