Group Runs
Run Together. Have Fun Together.
Running is more fun and you’re often more motivated when you run with other people! Runners and walkers of all ages, paces and fitness levels are welcome at our weekly Monday Night Group Runs that meet all year long and our Pub Runs that take place every few months. Invite your neighbor. Bring your dog. Push a stroller. The more the merrier at our FREE group runs.
High School & Youth Running
Instill The Passion.
Big River’s knowledgeable staff provides high school and youth running customers with advice, personalized shoe fitting and the best selection of equipment needed for the sport of running. In addition, we host an annual summer educational running camps, we put on one of the premiere cross country meets in the midwest – the Forest Park Cross Country Festival each September, and we support the youth track club – St. Louis Blazers. Fostering the next generation runners is one of our passions!
Trails
Get Outside.
There are so many trails throughout the St. Louis area to explore. Whether you’re looking for something scenic and smooth or a little bit more challenging, there are always new routes to discover no matter your ability level.
A HUGE thank you to our volunteer Pacers who love helping the running and walking community in St. Louis achieve their goals.
