Run For 21

DO SOMETHING EXTRA - RUN FOR DOWN SYNDROME!

In honor of the third copy of the twenty-first chromosome, the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis invites you to run an in-person or virtual 5K (plus a little extra!) on June 2nd to support the Down Syndrome Association. Run for 21 celebrates the amazing lives of people with Down syndrome. The race will coincide with the association's largest celebration of the year - Step Up for Down Syndrome. All proceeds will benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis! The run will start and end in the Upper Muny Parking Lot in Forest Park by the Step Up for Down Syndrome celebration. There will also be a virtual 3.21 mile option as well.

Race amenities include a race shirt, finisher medal and entry into the Step Up for Down Syndrome celebration, plus results managed by Start 2 Finish and a ticket to an unlimited pancake breakfast by Chris Cakes!

Participants must register by April 17th in order to guarantee they receive a shirt and all shirts will be available at the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis office on May 30th, May 31st, and June 1st. Virtual participants have the option to pay $7 to have your shirt and medal mailed to you.

The race will officially take place on June 2nd, but if you can't run with us in-person on June 2nd, you can submit your time between Friday, May 31st through Monday, June 3rd, with virtual results becoming final on Tuesday, June 4th. All participants will receive an email with instructions on how to submit their times on race week. *Only in-person participants are eligible for awards.
