About this race
The Big Run St. Louis is a 5K run/walk held at Creve Coeur Park, beginning in the evening on Global Running Day. Organized by Fleet Feet and presented by Brooks, this event emphasizes community over intense competition. Participants will cover 3.1 miles, with options for walkers and a virtual 5K for those unable to attend in person.
The course is flat and fast, situated in a well-liked St. Louis running area near 13725 Marine Avenue. All finishers receive a custom medal. Participants can opt for a commemorative shirt or decline it to reduce the entry fee. The in-person finish area will feature refreshments, food trucks, Kona Ice, beer, snacks, and music. Awards are given to the top overall male, female, and non-binary finishers, as well as male and female age groups from 19-and-under to 70-plus. Virtual runners are not eligible for awards. Volunteers, serving as course marshals, water-station staff, and general support, will receive either a race shirt or a gift card.
