Classic 107.3 Beat Beethoven 5K - St. Louis
This event series at Creve Coeur Lake Park in Maryland Heights, Missouri is a fundraiser for Classic 107.3, the community supported classical radio station in St. Louis. The 5K run/walk is organized around Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5: the station broadcasts live, the 5K begins with the first note of the first movement playing on Classic 107.3, and the goal for that race is to finish before the symphony ends, about 33 minutes. Participants who finish before that mark may receive on air recognition.
Distances offered include:
- 5K Run/Walk
- 1 Mile Missy Mazzoli Mile walk
- 5K Virtual Run/Walk
The Missy Mazzoli Mile is named in honor of the contemporary composer Missy Mazzoli, who is described in the event materials as Grammy nominated. Registrants who meet the event deadlines receive a Bella + Canvas cotton t-shirt and a finisher's medal. Kids under 18 receive a registration discount. The event materials also note prizes for participants who dress for the theme, for the top fundraiser, and for the top three finishers overall.
