This engaging event offers a 5K run and a 1-mile walk/run, welcoming participants of all ages to kick off the construction season during Work Zone Awareness Week. More than just a race, this event serves a vital mission: to raise critical awareness for safe driving in work zones and honor those who work tirelessly on our roadways. The in-person race begins at 8 AM at the MoDOT Transportation Management Center, located at 14301 S Outer Forty Rd, Chesterfield, MO.

The STL Work Zone Awareness Run stands out for its profound commitment to safety, promoting the essential message: "WORK SAFE. DRIVE SAFE. SAVE LIVES." Organizers, a dedicated group of volunteers from local public agencies and industry professionals, ensure a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. All participants receive a custom short-sleeve, high-visibility running shirt, promoting safety beyond race day, along with another giveaway item.
