Ferguson Twilight Run is 15!
   The annual run/walk is Saturday,

    Is May 18 at Plaza at 501

   Late afternoon on Saturday, May 18, the intersection of Florissant Road and Suburban Avenue will transform from a community farmers market to the start and finish area of a community race. Runners and walkers anticipating personal bests, the American flag waving high above from a fire truck’s ladder, the blare of a horn to signal “GO!” and the rush of hundreds of people moving toward a common goal – the finish line.

2024 marks the fifteenth year of Ferguson Twilight Run with one-mile, 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) distances on USATF-certified routes by Big River Running Company.

“The idea started with a simple question between friends, ‘What would it look like if we held a run?’” said Dwayne T. James, race director and planning committee member.

“It quickly grew to a viable plan because of the interest and excitement about bringing the community together with the healthy aspect of running and walking. The ripple effect and growth of that simple question still amazes me.”

Elizabeth Simons, planning committee volunteer agrees.

“Over the past 15 years, the Ferguson Twilight Run has created positive changes in our own lives and our overall community. Thousands of people have achieved personal goals of crossing the finish line, and more than $106,000 in proceeds have been donated to nonprofits that support healthy and active lifestyles in Ferguson and North St. Louis County.

“The continuous support of neighbors, race participants, and volunteers have been the driving force behind the success of 15 years of Ferguson Twilight Run,” continued Simons.
