DO SOMETHING EXTRA - RUN FOR DOWN SYNDROME!
In honor of the third copy of the twenty-first chromosome, the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis invites you to run an in-person or virtual 5K (plus a little extra!) on June 4th to support the Down Syndrome Association. Run for 21 celebrates the amazing lives of people with Down syndrome. The race will coincide with the association's largest celebration of the year - Step Up for Down Syndrome. All proceeds will benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis! The run will start and end in the Upper Muny Parking Lot in Forest Park by the Step Up for Down Syndrome celebration. There will also be a virtual 3.21 mile option as well.
Race amenities include a race shirt, finisher medal and entry into the Step Up for Down Syndrome celebration, plus results managed by Fleet Feet and a ticket to an unlimited pancake breakfast by Chris Cakes!
Participants must register by April 19th in order to guarantee they receive a shirt and all shirts will be available at the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis office on June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Virtual participants have the option to pay $7 to have your shirt and medal mailed to you.
The race will officially take place on June 4th, but if you can't run with us in-person on June 4th, you can submit your time between Friday, June 2nd through Monday, June 5th, with virtual results becoming final on Tuesday, June 6th. All participants will receive an email with instructions on how to submit their times on race week. *Only in-person participants are eligible for awards.
