Forest Park 5K & Kids Dash

Get ready to hit the trails with heart-pumping enthusiasm at the I Love Forest Park 5K, the one and only race where your strides directly contribute to the upkeep and beauty of our treasured park! In collaboration with Big River Running, Forest Park Forever is thrilled to invite you to lace up your running shoes for an event that's way more than just a run—it's a celebration of nature, health, and community spirit!

And hey, it's a family affair! Bring the little ones along for a joyous, non-timed Kids Run, where giggles and tiny sprints make lifetime memories. Can't make it in person? No sweat! Join in as a "Virtual Runner" and strut around in your exclusive run shirt, flaunting your support from wherever you are. Your park love—fast or slow, near or afar—makes a world of difference!
