Every upcoming 10K around St. Louis, with start times, entry fees, finish-time stats from past editions, start-line maps, and the local run clubs to train with.
9 upcoming 10K races found · 4 with finish-time stats
St. Louis 10K racing tends to play out on the same geography that shapes everyday running here: the wide, flat corridors along the Mississippi riverfront, the grand loops of Forest Park, and the neighborhood streets that spill out from Tower Grove Park. The city's prairie-flat bones mean 6.2 miles rarely punishes your legs with climbing, which makes the distance feel approachable in any season.
Fall owns the calendar here, and the October cluster in particular has a festive, costumed energy that fits the season. The group running scene is genuinely active, with clubs rooted in Forest Park and the blocks around 39th Street that can carry your training between race days.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Common Questions About Running a 10K in St. Louis
What does a typical finish time look like for a St. Louis 10K?
Across the 4 RunSignup 10K editions with published results on RunSesh - walkers and charity entrants included - the median finish time was 1:04:30. The median winner crossed in 39:48, and the median last finisher came in at 1:51:29, so the field spans a wide range and you are unlikely to be out there alone.
What will a St. Louis 10K cost me, and does it get more expensive if I wait?
Entry fees range from $12.99 to $45, with a typical fee of $22. Four of the 9 races already have a price increase scheduled, so registering early is worth it if you have a specific race in mind.
Is there a race that fits a first-timer who wants company and a shirt?
8 of the 9 races say they give a shirt. Fields vary - the Labor Day Slay has published a field size of 69, while Running From Yeti has shown 365 finishers - so if you want more people around you, the bigger events give you that. None of the 9 races charge nothing to enter, but $12.99 at the Hot Cider Hustle is the lowest starting point.
When should I plan my training block if I want to run a St. Louis 10K?
