Summer Sizzle Series

We’re kicking off a brand-new summer tradition for St. Louis runners. Whether you’re getting fit for fall, looking for a fun midweek run, or just want an excuse to get outside with your people, the Summer Sizzle Series is your Thursday night plan all summer long.

June 25: 2 Mile @ Shaw Park

July 9: 4K @ Tower Grove Park

July 23: 4 Mile @ Lakeside 370

August 6: 5K @ George Winter Park

Four races, four parks, different distances each time. Enjoy summer nights, great parks, music, movement, and a laid-back post-run hang with your crew.

Here’s what’s in store:

• 4 unique races at different parks across the area

• Flexible options - jump in for one or commit to the full series

• Plus - each night includes a 1 Mile Fun Run, so bring the whole crew

Turn up the Heat. Cool Down with Stride.
And when the running’s done, the night’s not over—hang out, cool down, and enjoy a post-run Stride Beer from our sponsor 4Hands!
