Harvest Moon Run
The Harvest Moon Run is an evening running event held in Eureka, Missouri. The event takes place at Historic Route 66 State Park, featuring a course that is mostly flat and paved. To guide participants through the park after dark, the path is lined with pathlighters, and 5K participants receive a headlight to help illuminate the way to the finish line.
The event features several race distances:
- 5 km (Run and walk)
- 1 mile (For kids ages 8-10)
- 0.5 mile (For kids ages 5-7)
- 0.1 mile (For kids ages 4 and under)
The Harvest Moon Run serves a hunger mission, with proceeds benefiting local food pantries and weekend food programs for students. Participants are encouraged to bring canned or boxed food items to the event for collection. On-site amenities include music and food options such as hot dogs and hamburgers provided by the local Elks Lodge. Performance awards are presented to the first-place male and female finishers in various age groups and the overall category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
