Ferguson Twilight Run Returns

 

Ferguson Twilight Run is set for Saturday, May 20 for runners and walkers to enjoy one-mile, 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) distances for the 14th consecutive year.

Course routes are USATF-certified by Big River Running Company. In the spirit of community, routes take participants through different residential neighborhoods.

The annual race starts and finishes at Plaza at 501 in downtown Ferguson.

Pre-race fun includes music and a warm up; cheer stations and water stops are along the route, and post-race fun includes a free concert with a live, local band and a finish area with health, wellness and food vendors.

All registered finishers will receive a commemorative medal.
