Welcome to the second annual Meramec River Run. The race will be held in beautiful Fenton, MO. Just 20 minutes from the Arch, the race is easily accessible from all of metro St. Louis and is perfectly timed on the calendar between the Lewis & Clark Marathon/Half in September and the St. Louis Track Club’s Half Marathon in November. Besides a beautiful and nearly flat route, chances are that a cool fall day will make for ideal race conditions.
