Since our inaugural event in 2017, we have always said that The Sun Run is “more than a 5k”. In 2024, that will literally be true and we invite you to experience The Sun Run re-imagined!

Presented by Walgreens, The Sun Run is set to take Forest Park by storm on October 13, 2024. Due to construction in the park this year, we are doing “MORE in ‘24”. This not-to-be-missed event promises MORE miles (a 6k and 1-mile course) and MORE fun for runners and non-runners of all ages!

The 6k run features chip-timing from Start 2 Finish St. Louis and the 1-mile offers a casual walk option. Every run/walk registrant will receive an official Sun Run t-shirt. Can’t make it to Forest Park? Virtual participation is also available!

We will maintain our tradition of having a robust Runners’ Village filled with local food and beverage vendors and entertainment galore. We will have a DJ, a juggler, face painters, balloon artists, bubble machines and lots of kids’ games and activities. MORE IN 2024 we are adding a Polar Palace experience! Finish your run or walk and cool off in Polar Palace, where you can enjoy some yummy frozen treats, hot cocoa, interaction with Elsa, Anna and Olaf and activities for the kids!
