Spire Team Village
Team Village Open: 5–9pm
Biz Dash 5K Starts at 7pm
The Spire Team Village is the hub of the Biz Dash! Hosted in the Centene Stadium East Plaza, it features team tents, music, food and beverage stands, tailgate games and more.
Be sure to arrive early to see the pre-race welcome, take part in the warm-up, and enjoy the festivities before the race. Individuals and teams will be highlighted on the LED screen during the pre-race festivities, and winners will also be recognized with awards on stage before and after the race.
Race Day Schedule
Make sure your team has a spot to hang out, enjoy your food and beverages, and refuel after the race in the Spire Team Village.
Team captains can purchase a tent via a team starter pack (with a set amount of race entries) or they can purchase à la carte via the Captain Store in RunSignUp.
Tents are limited and we will close reservations once they are sold out, even if it is before the deadline. Larger sized tents sell out first so make sure to reserve yours early! Only team captains can choose what size tent they would like as well as how many tables and chairs they will need. It is recommended that you determine the number of participants on your team before you purchase a team tent or meeting space.
Locations will be determined by the Biz Dash event management when payment is received. The map of team tents will be released the Monday before the event.
