Thirsty Thursday 5K Pub Runs

Thirsty Thursdays are back and once again sponsored by Good News Brewing and Fleet Feet St. Louis. We'll once again be hosting another series of timed 5K pub runs so we can enjoy two of our favorite activities: running and beer! We are adding some new features to the event in 2026, such as no processing fees, a loyalty program and age groups to the leaderboards!

One Thursday a month from April through October, we will have a professionally timed race on the Katy Trail from Good News Brewing in Defiance, MO. The course will be an out and back on the Katy Trail with an open start line format to allow for commute times and low stress check-in. All registrants 21 & older will receive a free beer from Good News for some post-race refreshment, and Good News will also be offering extended bar hours and a pizza buffet for purchase. We also have some sweet swag available for purchase during registration. Sign up now to join us on one (or more!) of our Thirsty Thursday 5Ks!

    Asher came into the world early alongside his twin brother, Ashton. From his very first breath, Asher showed what it meant to be a fighter. Born with a complex congenital heart defect and rectal atresia he started his journey of resilience. Sadly after 2 years and 7 months Asher made his journey to heaven.

    In honor of Asher’s beautiful life, we are raising funds to create something he would have absolutely adored. An inclusive, accessible playground where every child, regardless of ability, can play, laugh, and thrive.
