It's that time of the year for the Arnold Gobble Gobble 5K, held in the beautiful Arnold City Park! This course runs alongside the stunning Meramec River, with glorious nature and wildlife throughout. With its flat, speedy layout, it’s a great chance to set a new personal record. Little ones are welcome in strollers, however, dogs are prohibited.
