The race is part of the final morning of the Ballwin Days Festival, so there is already a crowd and some noise when you arrive. Both distances share Vlasis Park as the start and finish, which keeps everything contained and easy to navigate. The shorter option draws families with younger kids; the longer one has a genuine competitive field alongside recreational runners.
