EVENT & COURSE DETAILS
The course is a scenic, roughly 3.2-mile lap on the east side of Tower Grove Park in St. Louis. This horseshoe-shaped route is perfect for spectators and family, allowing them to cheer on your runners at the start and halfway points of each loop (see map below). Together, you'll complete the full 26.2-mile marathon distance. Each team member must run at least one lap, but the remaining laps can be split between members however works best.
The start and finish line will be near the Son's of Rest Pavilion at the east end of the park. Restrooms will be available on site. Feel free to bring a pop-up tent and chairs for your team's "home base" during the race. Each team will receive two gallons of water to fill their own bottles and pre-packaged snacks will be available as well. Awards will go three deep in each category.

Team members will need to sign up as a group and a team captain must complete the registration and make the payment for the entire team.
