Event Overview
The Classic 107.3 Beat Beethoven 5K - St. Louis is an annual community event held at Creve Coeur Lake Park. This fifth annual edition serves as a run and walk to support the Radio Arts Foundation, a community-supported arts and classical radio station in the St. Louis area. The event integrates classical music with physical activity by broadcasting live through the station.
Participants in the flagship race aim to complete the course before the conclusion of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, which lasts approximately 33 minutes. The race begins exactly as the first note of the symphony is played on the radio. For those seeking a different pace, a shorter mile event is also available.
The event features several categories for participation:
- Beat Beethoven 5K Run/Walk
- Missy Mazzoli Mile
- Virtual 5K Run/Walk
Registered participants who sign up before the specified deadline receive a cotton t-shirt and a finisher's medal. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers, the top fundraiser, and participants who wear costumes matching the event's theme. A registration discount is available for individuals under the age of 18. The park is located at 2143 Creve Coeur Mill Rd in St. Louis.
