Saint Louis, MO

The course runs through a neighborhood in Saint Louis built around Francis Park, which means actual hills. This is not a flat road race. The terrain gives the name its meaning, and runners feel it. The park sits at the center of the event, and the money raised goes back into it, which shapes the crowd you will find there.
