Race Course
The 5K course starts in downtown Kirkwood (325 North Taylor, near the YMCA) and finishes in Webster Groves (East Lockwood & North Gore). The course will be flat with numerous downhills, so here’s your chance to set a new PR (personal record) in the 5K. Baby joggers/strollers will be permitted in both the 5K and the Fun Run, but must start at the back of the start line area. No dogs, pets, roller blades, skateboards or wagons are allowed in any of the races. Please note that the start of the 1-Mile is in Webster Groves and not in Kirkwood. Race Course PDF
Timing
Participants in the 5K will be timed using the "B-Tag" system. The 5K race course has a 1-hour time limit, thus the course will officially close and streets will re-open at that time. Participants in the 1-Mile fun Run will not be timed.
Race Day Parking
There are a variety of parking options available on race morning, but the majority of the parking will be available in Kirkwood. If you are parking in Kirkwood, there is a parking garage at Madison & Kirkwood Road or street parking is available on Argonne, Jefferson and Madison. In Webster Groves, there will be plenty of parking available on side streets and lots in and around the business district. Please DO NOT park on the race course along Adams and Woodlawn. Points of interest near the 5K start line are the Kirkwood train station, Commerce Bank, Bar Louie and Kaldi’s Coffee.
Race Day Shuttle Service
Since the 5K race starts in Kirkwood and finishes in Webster Groves we will offer a free shuttle service after the 5K race from Webster Groves back to the start line in Kirkwood, beginning at 8:30 am, and concluding at 9:30 am. For those 5K participants that choose to park near the finish line in Webster Groves, we offer shuttle service to the start line in Kirkwood beginning at 5:30 am, and ending at 7:00 am. Look for the large shuttle flag banners, which indicate pickup/drop off locations. You will be asked to show your race bib for access to the shuttle.
