Spire Team Village
The heart of the Biz Dash is the 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk through Downtown St. Louis. The route goes through the central corridor of the city with views of the Gateway Arch, Kiener Plaza, Busch Stadium, Union Station and ending right in front of CITYPARK.
Participants can begin moving to the starting line (on Market Street) around 6:40pm. The 5K will start at 7pm.
All levels of runners and walkers are welcome! More than half the crowd actually walks the race.

The Biz Dash will go on rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, a call will be made about the race at that time. Monitor the Biz Dash social media for any announcements. Participant safety is our number one priority.
The Enjoy Illinois 300’s Curtis Francois will be the grand marshal of 2023 Biz Dash 5K presented by World Wide Technology, just 10 days before the NASCAR race takes place at WWT Raceway.
The 2023 Biz Dash will have a NASCAR flair featuring Francois waving the green flag at the start line, a lead car, race cars on display, and a promotional tent with information about the Enjoy Illinois 300 and the first annual JJK5K, in which participants can run the track at WWT Raceway and benefit the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation.
Those completing the 5K in person will have a race bib with a timing strip that automatically records your 5K time when you cross the finish line.
PLEASE NOTE: Virtual times won’t count towards scoring for awards. Only in-person race times will contribute to awards scoring.
