🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The Market Mile is a community-based, one-mile walk/run that invites you to give back and have fun doing it!

Beyond the promise of sunny summer weather, a one-mile course straight down Market Street, the “take it at your own pace” vibes and a buzzing after-party at Union Station, the Market Mile is different because it’s powering up the nonprofits who work tirelessly on the future of our city.

The Market Mile serves St. Louis through core areas of need: accessible green spaces, safe housing and public safety. We’ve carefully selected Market Mile Race Beneficiaries that you may choose to support when you register.

We raised over $5,500 for nonprofits in 2024!

During our inaugural event in 2024, we are proud to report that we raised $1,778 for Peter and Paul Community Services, $1,693 for Great Rivers Greenway, and $2,043 for Backstoppers.

🌳 Beneficiaries

• Accessible Green Spaces: Great Rivers Greenway - Our mission is to make the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a regional network of greenways.
• Safe Housing: Peter & Paul Community Services - Offers those we serve hope, empowerment, compassion, hospitality and a chance for independence.
• Public Safety: The BackStoppers® - Provides ongoing needed financial assistance and support to the spouses and dependent children of all police officers, firefighters, and EMTs who have lost their lives or suffered a catastrophic injury in the line of duty.

🤝 Community Partnership

If the Market Mile’s values could be summed up in three words, it’s be community, accessibility and city pride. Developing city pride takes time, and it takes making fun memories while celebrating the history that weaves through everything, from the architecture to the food.

We are proud to partner with our sponsors, Union Station, Lodging Hospitality Management, and 4 Hands Brewing Co., to bring the Market Mile event to life.

The iconic Union Station is the perfect blend of history and modernity, celebrating its 131st anniversary this year!

Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM) is transforming the way locals and visitors alike experience St. Louis today and well into the future.

4 Hands Brewing Co. has given back over $300,000 to local nonprofits through its City Wide Mission and is a fantastic partner for The Market Mile.
