2022 Route 66 10K

The best 10K race in the Midwest, this event is tailored to be enjoyed by all who participate as runners, walkers, and volunteers. Being a community-oriented event, a portion of the race budget is dedicated every year to benefit local not-for-profit organizations, and proceeds are used to promote physical fitness and activity in the Metro East.

Run in conjunction with the City of Edwardsville IL's Route 66 Festival, the race will also be offered as a virtual event. This race attracts individuals from the St. Louis metro and beyond each year, and we encourage you to invite your long distance family and friends to join in the virtual fun for 2022.

Age group awards (in 10 year bins) will be awarded to in person participants, and all registrants will receive a high quality technical shirt and swag item.
