Run in the Park - Hermann Park
Hermann Park Conservancy’s Run in the Park returns for its 23rd year on November 14, 2026, with both in-person and virtual options. The in-person program includes multiple course choices and a kids route. The event start and finish are located at Molly Ann Smith Plaza, near the Jones Reflection Pool, and the day includes a post-run gathering with food, drinks and music. All proceeds support maintenance and care of Hermann Park.
In-person course options:
- 5K
- 10K
- 1K kids' run
The Kids' Run will be held in two heats, with ages 7 to 12 running in the first heat and age 6 and under in a later heat. Signage and volunteers will be positioned along the routes. Runners carrying objects or pushing strollers are asked to start at the back of the field for safety. Traffic on Hermann Park Drive will be stopped periodically during the event.
The virtual option runs from November 14 through November 29, 2026. Virtual participants receive an exclusive event shirt and access to an online leaderboard. Organizers recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before the scheduled start to allow time for parking and walking to the main site. Recommended parking areas include Lots G, F, E and Lot C near McGovern Centennial Gardens; Parking Lots A, D, T and I will be closed.
