Course Changes:
Course Changes: The course has remained very similar to years past with just a couple of changes. We will now start and finish the race in the middle of central fields rather than the north end. The footing is better and allows for a longer straightaway to the finish which is more suitable for athletes and fans. The general layout remains a 2k loop with an additional 1k loop to be used for the 5k distance and retains the majority of the old course. We will have detailed hand-drawn maps available in your race packets. Click HERE for the NEW course map. The map shows the entire 2k loop. The 5k course will include an additional 1k loop that will essentially cover the last 1k of the 2k loop. Click HERE for a hand-drawn version of the course map that includes the 1k loop. The course will be painted and ready to go on Friday September 10th. Coaches please feel free to visit the course the week leading up to the race.
Open Race:
The festival will begin with an Open Race at 7:30am. The race is open to the public but serves as a great opportunity for coaches, parents or younger brothers and sisters to compete on the same course as the high school athletes. Medals will be presented to the top 20 finishers for men and women. Age group winners will also receive awards. Overall meet winners will receive a FREE pair of Brooks shoes.

Directions:
The Forest Park Cross Country Festival is proud to call Forest Park home. Located in the center of Saint Louis, the park is home to several area landmarks including the St. Louis Science Center and the nationally-recognized St. Louis Zoo. The race course is located entirely on the Central Ball Fields. Coming from Highway 44 (64/40 is under construction) you enter the park from Hampton via the Hampton Ave. exit. Turn right on Wells Dr. and continue on Wells until you hit the fields. There is parking around the entire perimeter of the fields as well as on the nearby upper Muny parking lot.
