Run for Life and Learning 6K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the 25th Annual Run for Life and Learning, returning to the scenic Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park in St. Louis, MO, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This beloved community tradition offers a refreshing 6K run/walk and a family-friendly 1-mile walk/run, alongside an exciting 0.25-mile youth run featuring FredBird® or Louie from the St. Louis Blues. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll, the picturesque park setting provides a beautiful backdrop for all participants.

The Run for Life and Learning is more than just a race; it's a powerful event hosted by the Friends of Birthright, with all proceeds directly benefiting Birthright Counseling, St. Louis. Your participation helps fund education for clients in financial need and provides vital professional counseling and practical assistance, empowering individuals to build brighter futures for themselves and their children.

With typical race day conditions in early June seeing highs around 85F and lows around 64F, and a modest 16% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate a pleasant morning for their efforts. The 6K race kicks off at 8:30 AM, followed by the 1-mile event at 8:40 AM, and the youth fun run at 9:15 AM. Packet pick-up is conveniently available the day before the race at Big River Running Company, or on race day morning at the Tremayne Shelter, ensuring a smooth start to this uplifting event.
