2026 Ferguson Twilight Run

Prepare for an unforgettable evening under the stars at the 2026 Ferguson Twilight Run on May 16th, held in the heart of St. Louis, MO. This award-winning event invites runners and walkers of all abilities to experience the unique thrill of a twilight race, offering distances of 10K, 5K, and a 1-Mile Fun Run. Known as the only evening race in North St. Louis County, the Ferguson Twilight Run promises an electric atmosphere where community spirit shines bright, attracting over 2000 participants since its inception in 2010.

All races commence and conclude at the vibrant Plaza at 501, situated at the intersection of Florissant Road and Suburban Avenue, creating a central hub for pre- and post-race festivities. As you navigate the course through residential areas and public rights of way, you'll be energized by local music and enthusiastic cheer groups lining the route. The celebration continues well after crossing the finish line with a complimentary live concert featuring the Funky Butt Brass Band, alongside refreshing beer samples from Ferguson Brewing Company and various food and health vendors. Typical race day conditions in mid-May usually present comfortable highs around 77F and lows around 57F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather.

Beyond the scenic course and lively finish line party, the Ferguson Twilight Run is deeply rooted in giving back. Proceeds from the event, distributed through the Donnie White, Sr. Memorial Ferguson Twilight Run Awards, are dedicated to supporting local organizations that promote healthy and sustainable fitness activities for residents throughout North St. Louis County. This commitment to community development makes it more than just a race; it's a celebration of health, unity, and local pride.
