Beyond the race itself, the St. Genevieve Patriot Parade distinguishes itself as a true community celebration. Following the races, participants and supporters can look forward to the St. Genevieve Student Talent Show, with race winners announced at 11:00 AM, adding a lively and entertaining element to the morning. The festivities continue with a delicious Chili Cook-Off, where runners enjoy free entry, making for a perfect post-race gathering with friends and family.
