Girls on the Run Fall 5K

Girls on the Run Fall 5K takes place in St. Louis, Missouri, on November 14, 2026. The event offers a single format, the 5K Race (3.1 miles), starting at 8:30 AM. It is the fall 5K of the St. Louis chapter of Girls on the Run, the program that pairs running with life-skills lessons for girls, and the race is the celebration that caps the season.

Girls on the Run 5Ks are built around participation: the girls from the program take part, and the race is open to family members, friends and community runners as well. The atmosphere is supportive rather than competitive, which makes this a good first 5K for a young runner or for an adult who has never pinned on a bib. If you are running with a child, practice covering the distance together at a comfortable run-walk pace in the weeks before, and plan to celebrate the finish rather than the time.
