Where do I park?
Vendors, Performers and Volunteers are recommended to park in the Care STL parking lot at North Market & Annie Malone Drive. This information will also be provided in an email closer to race day.
For runners, walkers and anyone else attending the race/festival, we suggest street parking, which is plentiful in the neighborhood. We also have identified a handful of paved lots near the site.
The lots below are listed in order of proximity to the start/finish line and festival site.
Lively Stone Parking Lot - Located at the corner of Bishop PL Scott and St. Louis Ave. It is one block away from the main site. Lot is also inside of the course route, so get there before the barriers close (5PM) if you would like to park there.
The Ville Mall Parking Lot - Located on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive near the MLK cheer and water station.
Where will I be running?
If you are unfamiliar with the area, we suggest plugging in 2631 North Sarah Street, St. Louis, MO 63113 to your GPS. It is the parking lot across from St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Church and the location of the festival, in sight of the start/finish line.
Part of the mission of the Trap Run is to highlight north St. Louis by bringing people to the neighborhoods the event seeks to benefit. Participants will take a route along North Sarah Street to Washington Avenue, Vandeventer Avenue to St. Louis Avenue. Cheering and water stations, featuring local DJs, will be located along the route.
What if I don't want to run or walk? Will there still be something to do while the race is going on?
Yes! The Trap Run is more than just a race. Please attend for the vendors, including health organizations, food and Purina’s pet booth! Our festival goes from 8 am to noon.
Is there a way to support the event even if I'm not participating or sponsoring it?
Yes! We love volunteers and donations :)
Who are the Djs/performers
