Sunday’s marathon runs through Springfield. Here’s where the course goes

The Bass Pro Conservation Marathon starts at 7 a.m. Sunday, November 1, outside the store’s grand entrance at 1935 S. Campbell Ave. The finish is at the John A. and Genny Morris Conservation Center, 600 W. Sunshine St.

Between those two addresses, runners will pass through neighborhoods, follow stretches of paved trail and historic Route 66, and head past Missouri State and through downtown. Roads along the course reopen in stages, so the timing depends on which stretch you need to cross.

If you’re meeting a runner or driving across town Sunday morning, check the organizer’s course map and race-day details before choosing your spot.
