Team Meeting Spaces
Make sure your team has a spot to hang out, enjoy your food and beverages, and refuel after the race in the Spectrum Team Village!
Team captains can purchase a meeting space either through a Team Starter Pack (which includes a set number of race entries and a discounted team space) or a la carte via the Captain Store in RunSignUp.
Team spaces are limited, and reservations will close once they are sold out, even if it is before the deadline.
Larger spaces sell out first, so be sure to reserve yours early! Only team captains can select the size of their space.
It is recommended that you determine the number of participants on your team before purchasing a team meeting space.
Locations will be determined by the Biz Dash event management when payment is received.
The map of team spaces will be released the Saturday before the event.

KSDK 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.
5K Course
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 Energizer Park.
The official 2026 course route will be announced later this spring!
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.
