Course
The 5 Mile course begins on the roads as it takes the runners through historic St. Charles's Frenchtown district and then into DuSable Park. After exiting DuSable Park, the runners will run the final stretch of the course on the Katy Trail. There is a water station in the park - which the runners pass two times. The 1 Mile course is an out-and-back on the Katy Trail. The Toddler Trot is held in the grass, so it is safe for very wobbly toddlers!
Packet Pick-up
Avoid the lines on race morning by picking up your race number from 10am-5pm on Saturday, August 2nd at FLEET FEET Sports in St. Charles. Numbers may also be picked up on race morning at the bandstand beginning at 6:30am.
