  Join us Sunday, April 19, 2026 at Creve Coeur Lake Park for our 5th Annual run/walk event for Classic 107.3 - Radio Arts Foundation, the only community-supported arts and classical radio station in St. Louis! In the 5K race, the goal is to finish before the end of Ludwig van Beethoven's famous Symphony No. 5 (about 33 minutes). The station will be broadcasting live, and the race starts with the first note of the first movement playing on Classic 107.3! Beethoven himself will be there to wish you Viel Glück!

  There will be fun prizes for those dressed for the theme, for the top fundraiser, and for the top three finishers overall.

  For those interested in a more relaxed experience, try the Missy Mazzoli Mile, named in honor of the Grammy-nominated contemporary classical composer recently described as “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart”. Everyone who registers for either event before the deadline will receive a Bella + Canvas cotton t-shirt and a finisher’s medal, and more. Kids under 18 receive a registration discount. Ready, set, Beethoven!
