Summer Sizzler

Get ready to experience the Summer Sizzler, an exciting and family-friendly running event presented by Bodies Race Company on August 30, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri. Taking place at Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, with the start and finish lines at Tremayne Shelter, this annual race offers distances for every pace: a challenging 15K, a popular 10K, a speedy 5K, and an accessible 1-mile fun run, plus a Kids Dash for the youngest athletes. Runners can expect a "quite flat and fast" paved road course, ideal for setting personal bests or enjoying a comfortable jog through scenic park surroundings.

Participants will be treated to exceptional race perks, including a designer shirt and a custom, "one-of-a-kind masterpiece" finisher medal. Chip-timing with live results and awards adds to the competitive spirit, while complimentary photos capture your race day memories. A true highlight at the finish line is the refreshing free Kona Ice and other delicious treats to help you cool down. For those seeking an extra twist, the unique "Beach Party Challenge" encourages runners to collect beach items at aid stations and carry them to the finish for a special challenge pin.

Typical race day conditions in late August in St. Louis feature highs around 86F and lows around 63F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but generally clear running environment. The Summer Sizzler prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere, encouraging runners of all fitness levels to join the fun. Aid stations along the course will provide water, and enthusiastic volunteers will be cheering you on every step of the way. Whether you're aiming for a new record or enjoying a spirited outing with friends and family, the Summer Sizzler promises a memorable and rewarding experience.
