The Gateway Resilience Run

🌟 Race Overview

The Gateway Resilience Run is back to help those recovering from the May 16th tornado that devestated St. Louis City. This time run or walk with us in-person or participate virtually. With two in-person options, a Half Marathon at Creve Coeur Lake on Sunday, March 28th and a 5 Mile at Forest Park on Sunday, May 2nd, we're excited to finally and safely allow the running community to come together! Not ready to join us in person? That's okay, run or walk virtually! Regardless of how you log your miles, ALL participants earn coveted, collectable Gateway Resilience medals, premium swag and digital finisher certificates. This year':s medal set links together AND, if you ran or walked with us last year, fit nicely into your existing Gateway Resilience Run medal collection!

❤️ Charitable Cause

Continuing in Gateway Resilience fashion, we're not just running or walking for fun. This year's charity partner is the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis. 100% of your donations, plus a portion of every registration will go to the Urban League to help them realize their mission of empowering African Americans and others throughout the St. Louis region in securing economic self-reliance, social equality and civil rights.

⚠️ Start Procedure

To ensure the safety of all participants of the Gateway Resilience Runs and ensure everyone has plenty of space on-course, small waves of participants will leave the start line every 10 minutes. When registering, participants will submit an estimated per mile pace which will be used to place corrals with the fastest corrals going first and moving backward from there. Final wave assignments will be shared two weeks before the event.
