About this event
The St. Louis Turkey Trot starts and finishes at the Upper Muny parking lot in Forest Park, with chip-timed 5K and 8K courses entirely on paved road plus a Kids Dash. St. Louis' very own Strange Donuts waits at the finish line, runners choose a classic t-shirt or an upgraded thin-tec pullover, and the race is part of the Missouri Runs Race Series. It benefits Best Buddies International, which creates friendships, employment and leadership opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Parking
Upper and Lower Muny lots in Forest Park; limited on-site parking, no exit until 9:30 AM.
