Gateway Arch National Park
Kick off the holiday season in true St. Louis style at the Winterfest 5K, returning for its sixth year at Gateway Arch National Park. The Winterfest 5K is the only official run/walk that goes through and supports Gateway Arch National Park's official nonprofit conservancy, giving you a chance to experience the Arch grounds like never before. While you run or walk, you'll take in stunning views of Downtown St. Louis, the Old Courthouse, and the iconic Gateway Arch. Directly after the race, our 6-week long Winterfest celebration will kick off in Kiener Plaza with ice skating, s'mores stations, heated igloos, and so much more.
All ages and experience levels are welcome at the 5K. For those who prefer a lighter pace, a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk that loops around the Gateway Arch is also available. Participants will receive a commemorative medal and t-shirt, and winners will receive additional special prizes.
Additional details, including a link to register for the Winterfest 5K, will be announced closer to this event. Follow us online and sign-up for our newsletter to stay in the loop.
