For many years, the Dogwood Parade was a yearly staple in Ladue’s tight-knit community, celebrating camaraderie, family and the anticipation of warmer months ahead. In 2025, we’re excited and humbled to introduce The Dogwood Run, welcoming back the spirit and legacy of the parade to the heart of Ladue.
After a scenic, tree-lined run, walk or stroll (yes, strollers are welcome!) around the famous “Ladue Triangle,” everyone will come together at the Post-Race Festival to kick off summer and give back, with all race proceeds benefiting The Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.
Our neighbors at local Ladue staple, Companion Bakery, have graciously offered their cafe and parking area to support our vision of reviving the spirit of the historic Dogwood Parade.
After the race, Companion Bakery is hosting a post-race festival with several vendors and live music! The post-race party is family and dog friendly. Stick around after the race and celebrate your accomplishment and the community with our friends at Companion!
Whether you competed in the race or not, we welcome the whole community after the race until 11 am!
