Experience our hometown national park in a new way! The route includes magnificent views, with a journey past Kiener Plaza and the Old Courthouse and through the beautiful grounds of Gateway Arch National Park. It doesn't get more "St. Louis" than this!

This race is the only official race through Gateway Arch National Park and the only one to also support the park! Proceeds benefit Gateway Arch Park Foundation's mission of conservation, preservation, education, and community programs at and around our hometown national park.
