Greater St. Louis Marathon: Running Club Championships
Part-friendly competition, part-social gathering, and all fun! We invite you to celebrate all the things that make the running community the vibrant, diverse network of athletes that it is. This unique competition levels the playing field, valuing every distance, every runner, and even every volunteer.
We’re excited to bring a little friendly competition to this year’s newly reimagined Greater St. Louis Marathon! Read all about how your team can earn points for your club towards becoming the CHAMPIONS of the inaugural Greater St. Louis Running Club Championships!
Categories
- Under 10 participants
- 11- 25 participants
- Over 25 participants
Special Awards for 2024
- Team who traveled the farthest
- Farthest combined distance run
- Team Spirit (best uniforms/best campsite decor/etc – totally subjective on this one!!)
How do you earn points for your team?
- Race registration: The distance you register for is the first way you earn points for your team. Marathoners will earn the most points down to the 5K with the least.
- Race results: Using an age-graded system, your finish time will earn you additional points for your team. Everyone will receive points with a finish time, but additional points will be earned for those with faster age-graded times.
- Volunteering: Have some non-runners, or runners who are training for a different race, on your team? Volunteer hours will earn points towards your team total. (FYI, runners who are participating in the race can also earn volunteer points in shifts at the Expo or other pre-race volunteer needs!)
- On-Course Cheer Station: The ultimate point-earning opportunity! If your team has enough people who aren’t running (or are family members of runners!) and you set up an official cheer station on-course, your team will receive a healthy amount of points for doing this awesome act of running community fellowship! (Please note: cheer stations must be “official” and registered with the event to be eligible for points.)
Winners will be announced LIVE at the after-party, and can expect to earn bragging rights, some great prizes from our partners, and the satisfaction of running and competing with some really awesome teammates!

The Greater St. Louis Marathon is scheduled for April 27, 2024.
Greater St. Louis Marathon Expo & Runner Packet Pickup – Thursday, April 25 – 3:00pm-7:00pm and Friday, April 26 – 11:00am – 8:00pm
10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon, Marathon Relay, 5K and 1-Mile Family Fun Run – April 27, 2024
General registration is available online only. REGISTER HERE
Entry fees vary depending on the race and the time of year you plan to register. Once registration opens, it will continue until a race sells out or closes.
- Marathon – 18 years of age on race day
- Half Marathon and Marathon Relay – 14 years of age on race day
- 10K – 12 years of age on race day
- 5K – 6 years of age on race day
Funds generated from participant registration fees go toward costs associated with event shirts, finisher medals, and a variety of operational costs such as: official permits, medical supplies, security, race bibs, barricades, hydration equipment, staffing and timing services. In addition, as a local non-profit organization a portion of your entry fee helps support GO! St. Louis youth initiatives, aimed at keeping kids active.
Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds for any of the events. Costs associated with the pre-planning and ordering of participant amenities well in advance of the race prohibit us from offering refunds. In addition, refunds are not issued if the event is cancelled due to severe weather, disaster or emergency occurrences that may affect the safety and health of the participants. Please take a moment to read the full waiver that is available at the time of registration.
No, transfers are not permitted under any circumstances. While this practice may seem harmless, it can result in serious consequences to both parties involved. It’s an issue of false identity and a liability issue. Why? The most important reason is that your race bib is attached to your identity, so if an emergency occurs that requires medical attention or a race official must identify a participant, we need to have accurate information. In addition, finisher awards may be impacted. If race organizers identify an individual who has given their race bib to another person, it will result in disqualification and a minimum two-year ban for both individuals for any GO! St. Louis race.
Half and Full Marathon Participants Only
Yes. If for a medical reason you are unable to participate in the Half Marathon or Marathon on April 27 2024, you have the option of deferring your entry to either the 2024 Great GO! St. Louis Halloween Half Marathon or the Half or Full Marathon during the 2025 Marathon & Family Fitness Weekend with a note from a medical professional. This deferral is valid for 50% of the entry fee. The deferral is neither transferable to another person or another race and is non refundable. The deferral is only valid for one calendar year.
To defer you must email the GO! St. Louis office (info@gostlouis.org) by April 23, 2024. No deferrals will be processed after this date for any reason.
No, this is not allowed. This is frequently termed “race bandit” by race organizers and will be strictly enforced. Course monitors are trained to spot participants who are not displaying a race bib, and they will be escorted from the race course by officials and banned from future GO! St. Louis events.
All registered participants receive a race bag (a.k.a. packet or goody bag) that includes their official race number, race information, and promotional product samples. Your race bag must be picked at the Greater St. Louis Marathon Expo & Runner Packet Pickup. There is NO race day packet pickup for the marathon, half marathon, 10K, or relay on Saturday, April 27. Packet Pickup will be held at:
Location:
St. Louis Union Station – Midway East
1820 Market Street
St. Louis, MO 63103
Expo Hours:
Thursday, April 25 – 3:00pm – 7:00pm
Friday, April 26 – 11:00am – 8:00pm
As a registered participant you will receive a final race confirmation sent via email a few days prior to race day. Please bring a copy of this confirmation and a photo ID to the Expo to receive your race bag.
On a very limited basis, you may be faced with the situation where you go to pick up your packet and the shirt size you requested during the registration process is not available. With any race which requires large amounts of event shirts (10,000+), the order must be placed 4-6 months in advance of the event, so a certain amount of estimation of sizes takes place. Even with over-ordering it is not an exact science. Although if this happens, it generally affects a small number of participants. To ensure you receive your requested size shirt, we encourage you to visit the Expo as early as possible.
Although we stress that it is very important that every registered participant pick up their own bag, we do realize that in some cases it is not feasible. If a participant is not able to attend the Expo and pick up their own bag, they can complete a Packet Pickup Authorization Form, which allows someone to complete the process. No race bags will be released to an individual who does not have the proper form. A limit of ONE additional bag per person is enforced.
No, we require only the relay team captain or a designated team member to pick up all four team member’s bags. We do not release individual packets to team members. We do encourage all members of a relay team to visit the Expo and enjoy the experience as a team, if possible.
If you did not get your confirmation email and would like to confirm that you are registered for the race, please email info@gostlouis.org.
Yes, you can transfer to any other distance offered during race weekend. Keep in mind if you are transferring to a race that has a higher entry fee cost, you will be responsible for the additional cost. For example if you registered for the 5K and now want to participate in the half marathon, you would incur additional entry fee costs. No partial refunds are provided if you transfer to a race with a lower entry fee. In addition, a transfer can only be made if space is still available in the race. Please follow these instructions to switch your race distance:
Create a RunSignup account if you don’t already have one by going to www.runsignup.com.
- Click on the person outline in the top right hand corner of the screen.
- Click on Create an Account or Sign In (if you already have an account):
- Then, click on PROFILE – this will take you to the page where your race is listed.
- Click on Manage Registration.
- Click on Transfer Event.
- Click on Start Transfer and choose the event you wish to transfer to and continue through registration until complete. You will be charged the difference between the event you registered for and the new event.
If you have any issues during the transfer process, please email us at info@gostlouis.org.
All distance changes can be completed online before April 23. After April 23, all event changes must be done at the Gateway Outdoor Expo Event Change booth.
We do offer a 15% entry fee discount for all active duty, veterans, guard members and reserve members, however this does not include family members or military spouses. To receive the military discount code, please email us at info@gostlouis.org. Participants utilizing the military discount will be required to provide a military ID or papers during the packet pickup process. This discount is only valid on new registrations and cannot be applied to a previous registration.
Anyone who is a resident of the St. Louis region knows how unpredictable the weather can be on race day. The average start temp in April is in the low to mid 50’s, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70’s.
If extreme weather or an emergency situation becomes an issue during the Event, the GO! St. Louis President and Race Director and Medical Director will meet and determine the status/future of the Event. Depending on the situation, the Event may be delayed, ended early, or canceled. Information will be relayed to the race committee. Participants will be notified by course monitors and race officials.
We will also provide updates about Event delay(s) or cancelation(s) as quickly as possible through our website, social media and local media.
Please see our Race Day Protocol for Weather HERE
We assign participants a corral (A, B, C, D, E, etc.) based on their predicted finish time. On race day we have large corral signs that correspond with the letter on your race bib, this is where you line up for the race. To ease congestion at the start we release the corrals in waves, which are generally a minute or two apart.
Yes, you may elect to start in a lower corral with your friend, but you cannot go to a higher corral. For example if you are in corral B, you may go back to C or D, but cannot go to the A corral.
The marathon course route re-opens to traffic at a rolling schedule according to a 6.5-hour marathon pace or (approximately 15:00 minutes per mile). Marathoners and Half Marathoners must maintain a 15:00 minute per mile pace throughout the race. The time limit rules will be strictly enforced. There will be a pace leader leading a 6 hour 30 minute marathon pace or 3 hour 15 minute half marathon pace (15:00 minutes per mile). The time limit will begin when the 6:30 marathon pace group crosses the start line after the start of the race. Anyone who falls behind the last pacer, leading 15:00 min/mile must get into the sag vehicle and be transported to the finish, or move to the sidewalk and obey all traffic signals.
Any Marathon or Marathon Relay participant who falls behind the pace (behind the 6:30 pace group) prior to the Half Marathon turn to the finish will be required to finish with the Half Marathon. Any marathoner, who turns at the half marathon split and completes the half marathon, will receive finish line amenities (food, water, medical assistance if needed). After the half marathon turn to the finish, course support (police, course monitors, and water stations) will not be available to marathoners or marathon relay teams who fall behind the 15:00 minute per mile pace. Anyone who falls behind the pace must get in the sag vehicle and will be transported to the finish line, or move to the sidewalk and obey all traffic signals. Marathoners who only complete the Half Marathon will not be eligible for overall or age group awards.
Your official race bib has a timing strip on the back, so do not remove this strip. Once you cross the start line your timing strip activates, and will not stop until you cross the finish line. In addition, we will have various timing mats on the course to capture your progress along the way. Athletes vying for prize money will be judged on gun time, while age group awards will be issued based upon tag (chip) time.
Absolutely, we love walkers, but we ask that you agree to the time limit rules (15:00 per mile pace).
Although we do not restrict such devices, we strongly discourage the use for safety reasons. If you make a decision to wear a music-playing device during the race, please keep one headphone out of your ear so that you can hear any on-course instruction from race officials.
No. We love our pets too, but for safety reasons pets are not allowed on the course at any time. Participants that compete with a pet will immediately be escorted off the course and disqualified.
No, we do not allow any “wheels” on the race course for safety reasons, other than approved wheelchair participants, emergency personnel or race officials . The use of “wheels” will result in a disqualification.
Yes, we do permit competitive wheelchairs in the marathon and half marathon race only. All wheelchair participants must register as such and wear a helmet at all times. We do not allow hand-crank chairs to participate in any race. Wheelchair participants start the race a few minutes prior to the elite division start. Please email info@gostlouis.org if you are interested in participating as a wheelchair participant.
Yes, we will make every effort to provide a safe race experience for athletes of all abilities. If you are a disabled athlete and would like to compete, please send us an email at info@gostlouis.org, to ensure we can accommodate any special requirements.
No, we do not allow baby joggers or strollers in the marathon, half marathon, or marathon relay race for safety reasons. Participants will be escorted off the course and disqualified. We do, however, allow baby joggers or strollers in the 5K or 10K race. Participants are asked to start at the back of the start line area.
Yes, Gear Check is offered for the Marathon, Full Marathon, Marathon Relay, and 10K ONLY beginning at 5:30 AM on race day. Participants MUST re-use the “Clear” plastic bag they received at the Expo. Simply tear off the Gear Check tag from your race bib and affix it with the small zip tie (these are provided at the gear check tent). Your official race bib number is also your gear check number. We discourage you from placing valuables in the gear check bags. For security reasons we will not accept backpacks, luggage or any large bags. All personal items must be placed in a clear bag, where contents are visible. No exceptions.
