University City Memorial Day Run
The University City Memorial Day Run is the 52nd edition of an annual road event scheduled for May 25, 2026 in University City, Missouri. The event includes a 5K, a 10K, and a Family Fun Run, with the 5K and 10K starting in front of the University City Public Library and the Family Fun Run beginning at Princeton and Trinity.
Registration is divided by date with tiered fees for the 5K and 10K and a separate fee for the Fun Run. Family registration bundles two 5K or 10K entries and up to three Fun Run entries; family registration closes on May 15. T shirts are guaranteed for runners registered by May 12 and sizes can be exchanged after the run.
Packet pick up is available Sunday, May 24 from Noon to 5:00 pm at the University City Public Library or during the morning of the race on May 25. The 5K will be officially scored with chip timing managed by Big River Race Management.
On race day, the runner bib admits one person to University Citys Heman Park Pool for free. The pool was originally opened in 1933 and has been renovated since a major flood in 2022. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
