Swifty Fun Run - 1 mile | 5k | 10k | 13.1 mile

The Market Mile is a community-based, one-mile walk/run that invites you to give back and have fun doing it by joining us at our great after-party in Union Station!

Beyond the promise of sunny summer weather, a one-mile course straight down Market Street, the “take it at your own pace” vibes and a buzzing after-party at Union Station, the Market Mile is different because it’s powering up the nonprofits who work tirelessly on the future of our city.

The Market Mile serves St. Louis through core areas of need: accessible green spaces, safe housing, public safety, and youth programs. We’ve carefully selected Market Mile Race Beneficiaries that you may choose to support when you register.

We raised over $16,000 for nonprofits in 2024 and 2025!

During our inaugural event in 2024, we are proud to report that we raised $1,778 for Peter and Paul Community Services, $1,693 for Great Rivers Greenway, and $2,043 for Backstoppers. In 2025, we raised $3,086.83 for Great Rivers Greenway, $7286.36 for Peter and Paul Community Services, $2662.89 for BackStoppers, and $2,843.99 for Boys and Girls Club!

Our beneficiaries fulfill core areas of need in St. Louis: accessible green spaces, safe housing, public safety, & youth programs.

Get Ready for the 5th Annual Duo Dash 5K & 1-Mile Dog Walk!

Mark your calendars — the Duo Dash is back! Lace up your shoes, leash up your pups, and join us for a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising, all to benefit Duo Dogs.

This year’s race is extra special as we’ll also be celebrating Duo Ambassador Dog Barclay’s 8th birthday at the Dash!

• New hard dog toys (all ages)

• Dog training treats (Zuke's or Charlee Bear preferred)

• Coconut Oil

• Round cotton pads

• Head to our wishlist for more ideas.

Teams are encouraged to set up fundraising pages for their dogs and compete in a friendly contest for ultimate bragging rights — who will be crowned the highest fundraiser?

Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s going to be a paw-some day you won’t want to miss!

Both races will start inside the park at the Son's of Rest Shelter.

The Northside Trap Run is St. Louis' first hip-hop themed 1 mile walk, 5K walk/run & festival aimed at empowering North St. Louis neighborhoods and unifying grassroots, civic, educational, commercial and residential efforts to bridge the city's north-south divide.

The family-friendly event is hosted by Young Friends of the Ville, a board committee of Northside Community Housing, Inc., which develops and owns affordable housing.

A Race Where Everyone Has a Shot at the Win

Forget the usual “everyone starts together” race. This is a chase, a hunt, and a finish-line showdown all rolled into one. We’re reviving a legendary St. Louis race and bringing it into the 21st century!

Here’s the kicker: your race doesn’t start when the gun goes off… it starts when your turn comes. Using official, calculated age-grading tables, we’ll set your start time based on your age and gender. But no matter when you start, everyone has the same goal: — chase down anyone in front of them before the finish line!
