Saint Louis Half Marathon and 5K

Saint Louis Half Marathon and 5K is put on by the Saint Louis Track Club in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 8, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m. and the 5K at 8 a.m., both beginning and ending at the Muny Festival Grounds. The Saint Louis Crisis Nursery is the event's charity partner. You can pick up your bib at designated locations before race day, or have it mailed if you take the virtual option. Prize money goes to the top finishers, with additional age-group awards in the half.

Prize money and a club-run organization usually mean a competitive front end, but the half is just as workable as a first attempt at the distance. Twelve weeks with a long run building to 11 miles and one weekly tempo run will get you there.
