About this race
The St. Louis Marathon Relay takes place annually in Tower Grove Park, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Central and concluding within a six-hour timeframe. Participants may run the full marathon solo, share it with a single partner, divide it among four individuals, or form a 5-8 person Relay Party Pack designed for shorter segments and a more relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.
The event's structure accommodates serious solo runners, standard relay teams, club participants, and friends, allowing them to use the same marathon course without requiring identical objectives. The Party Pack option supports up to eight participants, averaging about a 5K per person. Members of the St. Louis Track Club receive a modest discount on registration for all event categories. This race is a long-standing tradition of the St. Louis Track Club, not a temporary event, and Tower Grove Park serves as the single, familiar location for the entire day.
