Beat Beethoven 5K - St. Louis
This is a fundraising run and walk in Creve Coeur Lake Park, organized to benefit Classic 107.3 Radio Arts Foundation, the community-supported classical radio station in St. Louis. The event includes in-person and virtual options and features music on the station during the race broadcast.
Distances and event formats:
- Beat Beethoven 5K Run/Walk - 5K
- Missy Mazzoli Mile - 1 mile walk
- Virtual 5K Run/Walk - 5K
Everyone who registers before the stated deadline receives an event t-shirt and a finisher’s medal. Kids under 18 are eligible for a registration discount. For the 5K, the stated goal is to finish before the end of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, which lasts about 33 minutes; the station will broadcast live and begins the race with the first note of that movement. Prizes are awarded for costume or theme dress, the top fundraiser, and the top three overall finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
