Discover the excitement of the Greater St. Louis Marathon scheduled for April 26, 2025. This not-to-be-missed event promises a weekend filled with exciting courses, iconic landmarks, and vibrant celebrations, including the return of the National Running Club Championships &amp; Rally.
With festivities kicking off downtown and concluding with a lively after-party, participants can look forward to live music, local cuisine, and an unparalleled city tour showcasing the spirit of St. Louis, the Gateway to the Best. Students on the GO! is a program for high school students to train for a half marathon or 10K over a 20-week program.  This isn’t a program just for highly trained runners (though they are welcome!). This is a program for any student who wants to be active, learn how to properly train for the 13.1 mile or 10K distance, and set and attain goals. In short, this is a program for ANY student! A free pair of running shoes and free entry into an additional race are just some of the perks of this program. 
Students may join the Students on the GO! Program through a school group. Participating high schools will have a school coordinator, and each student at a participating high school/team will join and then communicate through their own school’s SOTG program throughout the duration of the program.
