Coyote Crawl 5K and Head for the Hills 10K

🏃‍♂️ Race Description

Enjoy a 5K or 10K run through Missouri’s first, and one of only 44 Level III Arboretums globally, while surrounded by incredible fall foliage. Our rolling hills make this closed course a fun and memorable experience as you walk or run through the cemetery.

We are celebrating our 175th anniversary this year. Founded in 1849, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum has been the final resting place for many of St. Louis’s notable figures, including Priscila Baltimore, General William Clark, Sarah Teasdale, and Adolphus Busch. You will find world-renowned architecture such as the Wainwright Mausoleum, our historic Hotchkiss Chapel, and the “Girl in the Glass Box” nestled among our 14 miles of roadway. A diverse collection of over 9,000 trees and shrub varieties dot the landscape, making an enjoyable run/walk through history and nature.
