Spire Team Village
This year’s race course will have a new twist with a chance for participants to run across the Eads Bridge! Get a view of the skyline and the iconic Gateway Arch as you hit the halfway point and head for home!
To provide participants a chance to spread out, the 2021 Biz Dash 5K will be offering rolling start times this year. The start line will open at 6:30pm and runners/walkers can begin the race anytime between 6:30 and 7:15pm. Participants are chip-timed and should complete their 5K by 8pm to qualify for team scoring.
All levels of runners and walkers are welcome! More than half the crowd actually walks.

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.
For those completing the 5K virtually, you can upload your results through RunSignUp.
PLEASE NOTE: Virtual times won’t count towards scoring for awards. Only in-person race times will contribute to awards scoring.
Participants can park in the surface lots or the garage at Ballpark Village for just $5 on the night of the event. The special rate begins at 4pm.
Participants can also pre-purchase parking passes for $5 per car for the Stadium West and East Garages. The special rate begins at 3pm. You will need to select the date (2021-09-02) and the arrival/departure times.
Thursday is looking gorgeous! Sunny with a high of 82… As you prepare for race day, check out the forecast by 5 On Your Side – the official Weather Sponsor of the Biz Dash.
Weather Forecast
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.
Your company may not have the fastest runners, but your team can still come out a winner (and look good too) by entering the Tiny Little Monster T-Shirt Contest.
