14th Annual 'Due Run 4 Education

Lace up for a vibrant community tradition at the 14th Annual 'Due Run 4 Education, taking place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in St. Louis, MO. This cherished event, organized by Big River Running Company, offers both a 5K (3.1-mile) and a 1-mile fun run, catering to all ages and fitness levels. Runners will experience a unique thrill, starting and finishing directly on the stadium track at Ladue Horton Watkins Stadium, with the exciting possibility of seeing themselves on the Jumbotron. Beyond the in-person experience, a virtual option allows participants to support the cause from anywhere between September 26 and October 3.

Participants can look forward to a lively atmosphere with a live DJ, engaging vendor booths, and post-race snacks and refreshments to refuel. The course itself, starting and ending on the stadium track, is designed to be stroller-friendly, making it a perfect outing for the entire family. Typical race day conditions in late September in St. Louis offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 78°F and lows around 55°F, and a low 9% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the 'Due Run 4 Education is a beloved tradition that directly supports the Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) and its vital programs, enriching academic and enrichment opportunities for students and staff in Ladue Schools. With chip timing for accurate results and awards for top finishers, this event provides a rewarding and low-stress way to embrace fitness while contributing to a great cause.
