Love to Run St. Charles

You know you'll love it!

SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2025

 

 

Join us in the heart of historic downtown St. Charles for a one-of-a-kind race experience offering a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and brand-new Full Marathon! All distances start on the scenic Katy Trail near Bike Stop Café and the Katy Depot, with routes that are flat, fast, and full of charm.

Enjoy stunning river views as you run through Frontier Park and onto a soft, shady, and non-technical bonus trail—a hidden gem tucked just off the Katy.

Stick around after your run for the post-race celebration and awards ceremony in Frontier Park—featuring donated Good News beer, tons of snacks, music, and good vibes.

Come see why this race is a local favorite—and now bigger than ever!
