Market Mile St. Louis
August 10, 2025
-
The Market Mile is a community-based, one-mile walk/run that invites you to give back and have fun doing it!
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 and public safety. These pillars will change as time goes on, but for our inaugural year, we sought four race beneficiaries whose missions aligned with these core needs.
-
All Ages, Levels & Abilities Welcome
Date/Time: Sunday, August 10th, 2025 | 8AM - 11AM
Course: Straight Down Market Street, St. Louis, MO
The race will start near Kiener Plaza on Market Street, and run west, finishing at Union Station, where the post-race festival will take place.

The Course
Teams will alternate running a scenic, roughly 3.2-mile loop on the east side of the park. This horseshoe-shaped route is perfect for spectators, allowing you 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. 4-person and 2-person teams are available, as well as a solo option.
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 gallon bottles 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 TypesFour-person teams must choose the type that best fits their group. Options include:
4-Person Jr. High
4-Person 80 & Under
4-Person 160+
4-Person 200+
4-Person Open Male
4-Person Open Female

Junior High is for teams whose participants are in junior high/middle school. 80 and under means that the sum of your participants' ages will be 80 or less on race day. 160 + means that the sum will be 160 or greater and 200+ means the sum will be 200 or greater. Teams in these categories can be made up of all male, all female or mixed gender.
Open refers a team that doesn't fit into any of the other categories. There is also a Family category for those of you who want to share the race with your loved ones, and a Corporate category for that team building experience
